giewont tatra mountains poland

Giewont – the most popular polish peak

Giewont is 1894 m high and has characteristic profile of – as legend says – sleeping knight. It is located close to Zakopane city what makes it very popular and crowded. I suggest not to go there during summer weekend unless you want to wait 3 hours in queue to the peak :)

Sleeping outside the hut or weekend in Tatras

Kayaking in Warsaw on Świder River
