Giewont Mount

Giewont Mount

The holy mountain of the Poles. It is a symbol of Zakopane and the entire Tatra Mountains. The steep, vertical northern walls contrast with the gentle ridge along which the trail from Kopa Kondracka leads. Currently, only from the south side can you get to the top, in the past - it's worth knowing - tours from Zakopane passed by the White Sheep, then through the Strążyska Valley and then through the difficult Kirkor Gorge up to the Great Giewont. Today, this variant is celebrated through the Grzybowiec Pass (red signs through the entire length of the valley up to the Wyżnia Kondracka Pass). Note: this trail is closed in winter. Giewont is a mountain that is quite easily accessible, but do not underestimate it! The summit with the cross is located at an altitude of 1894 meters above sea level, pay special attention especially in the summit parts, where there are artificial facilitations - chains. If it looks like a storm, do not go to Giewont!

A trip to Giewont from Biala Sheep leads along the red trail (above the pass - the blue one) will take you about 4-5 hours, you have about 6.5 km to go. You can return the other way to Kuznice - via Kalatówki (blue trail).
