Giewont is really the whole massif. This is its highest peak, Wielki Giewont. Giewont is the symbol of Zakopane, the Polish Tatras and Podhale. Because it is, you can expect crowds here - this peak is extremely popular. Especially at the very top, you have to be careful, because everything can be slippery for hundreds of feet here.

So, after all! You've arrived! You're on Rysy, the highest Polish peak. The views are stunning after this rather difficult ascent up the chains (if you're here from Morskie Oko in Poland). Rysy actually has three peaks: the central one, the northwestern one (this one here), and the southwestern one. Only this one here is on the Polish side.

This waterfall is made up of three other cascades, flowing from the Five Lakes. The name "Wodogrzmoty" (although sometimes these waterfalls are simply called Mickiewicz Waterfalls) comes from the fact that the water makes a terrible roar as it falls (and it's cool).

An extremely popular peak, which is often "congested", which makes it impossible to enjoy conquering it. The ascent and descent are one-way and require the use of hands (horizontal and vertical chains). For experienced mountain climbers they are no problem, for amateurs it is a challenge and an adventure. The descent may be more difficult for some due to the exposure and descent technique. The rocks can be slippery, so it is worth remembering this when planning a trip to Giewont - appropriate footwear and clothing adapted to the conditions AT THE TOP (not at the bottom in Zakopane), a helmet will also not hurt. If you are going with a child, you can equip them with a harness and teach them how to use it in advance (fastening like in a rope park) for the child's safety. Remember that this is a mountain peak - do not treat it as a regular trip to the park and prepare well. If you want to avoid crowds, set off before dawn.

Here the hiking trail crosses the Roztoka, which falls in steps. An exciting spot for a break and a photo.

Lake Czorsztyńskie, located between the Pieniny and Gorce Mountains, is a picturesque reservoir on the Dunajec River. It was created as a result of the construction of the dam in Niedzica, which plays an important role in flood protection of the Dunajec Valley and in the production of electricity. The lake is a popular place for recreation, offering bathing, sailing, fishing and diving. There are numerous tourist attractions in the area, such as the Pieniny National Park, the castles in Czorsztyn and Niedzica, and the VeloCzorsztyn mountain bike trail. The lake also has a Bird Island, which is a shelter for waterfowl.
