Valley Strążyska

Stream flows in the Strążyski photo Lowell Last year, we visited with Agnieszka Strążyską Valley on the occasion of the acquisition Sarniej rocks. After more information about Valley Strazyska invite you to the relationship with Sarnia rocks. We enjoy it after what happened on the track, in particular photos.

Lazy with his feet on the Valley of the leg Strążyskiej photo Lowell We bought tickets to the Tatra Mountain Park and the lazy step, we began our journey following the valley. Accompanied us all the time Strążyski Potok, przepływający to the left hand, then again on the right. Early season, this has not Valley zapełniła a large number of people. But nevertheless from time to time, someone ahead of us. In this way, quite slowly, even sielankowo, reached the Strążyskiej Polany. Reveals the views of the majestic Giewont. Rafał quite seriously disappointed that the cottage is closed for Polanie zapuścił the Tatranská nap. Rafałowi leave our backpacks and we go into the Siklawica. This is equivalent to about 5-10 minutes spacerku. However, it is worthwhile to spend the time (if it is not too crowded at the waterfall), because the waterfall is worth a look.

Waterfall Siklawica

Come to the yellow trail Siklawy photo Lowell Route yellow brings us to the waterfall Siklawica. Waterfall is two-level, and its total height to 23 meters. Of which, 10 meters at the lower wall. Waterfall is situated at the northern wall Giewontu. Apparently the name of the waterfall is from the United Siklawy in the Valley of Five Polish Stawów. Previously, he was also called Siczącą, Siczawą, Siklawą. Between the walls, there is a rock shelf, which was called. Eworsyjny boiler - wygłębienie filled with water, which was under the influence of impact of water and rock debris. Using that with Siklawicy was not too many people, without haste delektowaliśmy to this place, doing memorial photos (lanserka on the whole).

Meanwhile, suddenly, somebody woke Raphael. Trzaska, not naoliwionego the castle and opened the door, rescued him from Tatrzańska snooze. Bigos and beer - breakfast as it looks. After my return from Siklawicy, also omieszkaliśmy consumption brewery. It is, for the warnings, read at the snack bar, information about the victims, which has absorbed Giewont. It is particularly important that the Giewont not fall during the storm!

Giewont on the red trail, which is Russian hip-hop

 

Another post, this time for Grzybowcem before us the beautiful views! photo by Lowell We back up towards the bridge, from which red trail will lead us to Giewont. Potok exceeded Strążyski and head toward the saddle in Grzybowcu. Go along the side Dolinka Grzybowca between peaks and Łysianki. At some point, has revealed to us Sarnia Rock and Long Giewont. We have a fairly slow and requires an approach by the condition of the forest. Of course, a large number of odpoczynków. The road narrows and the stairs begin with ... You have to admit that, despite many odpoczynków fairly quickly elapsed time "climbing" to pass in Grzybowcu. There is certainly merit Henke, who zasypywał us kawałami and lyrics like "Do you come from Elbląg". And Raphael and his Czech zmarzlin ball.

The passes in addition to Grzybowcu red We also accompanied the trail route black , Leading to the valley of the Little Meadows. Time of transition from Polany Strążyskiej to pass in Grzybowcu to 45 minutes.

Heniek bodajże Grzybowca on the background. Promote ongoing. photo by Lowell Route red this place is turning to the left, all the time, leading us towards Giewontu. Move gently back Grzybowca. Unfortunately, these beautiful Tatra reality does not take too long. The shares have entered without inhibitions, hardened, does not know borders, disgusting flies. Unfortunately, my fragrance attracted them most.Advertise Ax act was not so! Flies were so distracting that even a few falling into the frame, a couple of incredible shots. Unfortunately, this is a fight against windmills, and recalls the history of Rowokołu. Despite the scourge move much further towards Grzybowca.It is situated at an altitude of 1,417 m above sea level then come to a small reduction in Polanki back. Views impressive as always. We Kopa Kondracka and Małołączniak on whose back side is turned United tournament. United Turnia 1765 m above sea level fall into the upper stretches of the Valley of the Little Meadows. Looking south-east you can admire the walls, and small Giewontu Giewont. A dokuczają still flies, but we are not something you expected. As music is coming to the route. A typical boombox from which come the sound of Russian hip-hop or a very similar genre of music. Simply divine! And later, some are surprised that, in the Tatra Mountains, accidents and someone falls in the gap. With that I looked happy, even if the same radio go to valley in the Little Meadows. Russians (they were the whole trip, some in stylish sandałach) day before celebrating victory over the Netherlands in Euro 2008. I understand, but why does the route Giewont continue to celebrate? . From now on was very crowded trail. We caught up to other groups, including several brothers, Henry).

Rock rib, we already have ... photo by Lowell Meanwhile, the trail rises up the slopes of the Little Giewontu.Prior to sidetrack us with a few elements of rock climbing. Next trawersujemy Early Giewontu slope to reach the saddle and saddle. Here another rest, respectively, but reduced it to stay ahead of the other groups and to avoid traffic jams on Giewoncie, which probably will not miss. The trail here is turning a bit left in the direction of the saddle Kondracki, but he will lead us to the so-called. Kondracki Vyšné the saddle (1740 m). With Hall Strążyskiej to that place we have about 1.5 - 2 hours. You can say that at this point we welcome the crowds. In the saddle with red Valley trail Strążyskiej meets trail blue with Kondratowej Valley, which will leave later. At the saddle, you can also reach yellow trail from Kopy Kondracki (route Kasprowego Wierch). Here you rest and gather strength before the main approach to Giewont. Meanwhile, they come to us "brothers" and the Russians.Unless the batteries are exhausted our luck. . Peeps's Giewontu. And unfortunately, once again come to the conclusion that some people should have a ban on entry to the Tatra Park, and the best band of each mountain. Giewont nice to win, but the cross on Giewont? Unfortunately, it is stupidity and our buddy from the zasłynąłeś!

Giewont win!

A crucial to our approach in a nutshell. photo by Lowell It often happens that at the Giewontem create a queue ... Queue of people waiting to exit. Such are the realities of everyday life in the summer season. We are lucky, we do not have to wait and free to begin our approach. The trail leading to Giewont is one from a certain moment. This makes it possible to obtain a smooth summit, though, and so once again, somebody back. First, we have to overcome zakosy, then start with rocks and chains. You have to admit that the rocks are very dangerous. Tourists in sandałach feel for, because these plates are smooth and easily wyślizgane here about slipping and falling. The beginning is the worst - completely flat, slippery plate, which are small powycinane stairs. Heniek pokonuje zakosy w kierunku szczytu Giewonta  fot. Lowell But first of which is rather quite high for people with and without special maneuvers are hard to get there. Also, do not trust schodom cut, since they are also very slippery. Next tour is much easier to move the zrębach rock, which are much more reliable and easy to climb your way up. Heniek with us a little Rafał fled, we follow the peaceful pace of them. Come to the very top, where it is some space for himself. Admittedly, it is not wrong.

Giewont

At Lowell Giewoncie photo Giewont, westchnienia people on Krupowki Street. Giewont majestic knight sleeping dominant over Zakopane. Giewont - top symbol. Giewont, it is also a large iron cross, a storm, attracting pioruny gross zabłąkanych tourists. Several people a year experiencing the shock. In the case of storm weather, we advise you to avoid this place and as soon as possible to get off the summit. Giewont is also a place of pilgrimage.

Giewont consists of three parts: In ielkiego Giewontu small Giewontu and the long Giewontu. The whole massif has a length of 2.7 km and the Great Giewont rises to the height of 1,895 m above sea level. The most famous is the Great Wall north Giewontu high at about 600 m. Giewoncie being, you can experience the height, looking down toward the Polany Strążyskiej. It is also a very dangerous place, where a large space to be very careful.

Other so-called dangerous place. Kirkor gully, which is on the saddle Giewonckiej, between Grand and Little Giewontem. According to Wikipedia, and 2003 died in this place more than 20 tourists. The reason is the way to Giewontu shortening and deviation from the route.

Of course, there is no shortage of legends of the mountain. "One of them talks about sleeping in the Tatra Mountains rycerzach who wake up when Poland is in great danger, it locates them in Giewontem. Indeed, in Giewontu walls there are numerous caves.

Massif in the south admire Red Hills, in south-east Kasprowy Wierch, and characteristic Świnice Orla Perc. From midnight Strążyska Valley, Sarnia Rock and the City of Zakopane. It's as big as the shortcut. With the possibility of a longer stay at the top, power our new web gallery of photos and nourishment to the way back.

 

Get down with Giewontu trail to Kondratowej

 

Agnieszka bravely fighting śliskimi stones photo by Lowell As mentioned earlier, the trail is a one-on Giewont. This means that when we entered one way, another goes. Moves along the north wall Giewontu, looking at or avoiding the gap that there is. There are not many tourists at the summit so everything is safe. It recalls the Żlebie Kirkor! Going from Giewontu is secured with chains, stones on this side are also quite strongly wyślizgane. You can say that each is an important step to go down without obtarć with Giewontu. We return to our Giewontem under saddle.

Rafal is a photo rutyniarz Lowell Agnieszka turniami on the photo for our class;) photo Lowell At the time expires faster chains (in general) photo Lowell Quick look at the photo Kasprowy Wierch Lowell Brook on a blue route towards Polany KOndratowej photo Lowell

A moment of rest, and head toward the saddle Kondratowej. View of Kopę Kondracką recalls memories from the trip to the Red Wierchy, then it was not, so clearly visible. Blue trail to schodzimy Polany Kondratowej. It should be mentioned that the approach from the valley Kondratowej is easier than from the Valley Strążyskiej. The road back has to do himself, that very often getting longer. Also, this time reaching Kuźnice lasted quite a long time. The most wearisome is the last stage - paving the way towards the station lifts the Kuźnicach. The hard surface can be at least familiar with my stawom. Now only the bus back to Zakopane, a quick snack on Krupowki Street and return to Bielska. Another successful trip to our account! Moreover, all have been successful so far;)
