Roztoka Valley and Roztoka Stream

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

This beautiful valley is a branch of the Białka Valley, carved out by a glacier. "Roztoka" is a word used in the Carpathians for a place where streams converge.

The forest here is very old - some spruces are over 300 years old! Overall, a beautiful section among the trees and in the company of the Roztoka Stream.

The highest waterfall in the Tatras; the water here falls from 70 meters! The noise is quite loud, especially if you are here after a lot of rain!

Mickiewicz Waterfalls

Highlight • Waterfall

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).

Palenica Białczańska

Highlight • Parking

Wonderful views (I mean, it's a miracle) from this picnic bench on Palenica Białczańska.

At 990m, this clearing is the end of motorized traffic towards Morskie Oko. This is also where PKS buses and highlander carriages end - from here you have to go on your own feet, not on horseback.
