Czarna Przełęcz Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A nice place to rest, there's a covered shelter here.

From this point, you can turn off towards Czarny Kocioł along the black trail or continue along the blue trail to Czarna Przełęcz (2.6 km, according to the signs).

Wysoka Kopa

Highlight • Summit

Very beautiful panorama in all directions. The transmitter station does not offer any food, toilets or trash cans.
The wind whistles really hard here.

So: pack a windbreaker, hold on to your trash and, above all, take it with you.
