Olczyska Valley

Highlight • Gorge

The Olczyska Valley, formerly called Olczyk, is a montane valley in the Western Tatras, with its outlet in Jaszczurówka. This valley lies between Nosal and Mały and Wielki Kopieniec. The Olczyski Potok, formerly called Olcza, flows through the valley and starts its course in Wawierzysko Olczyski. A trip to the Olczyska Valley is a place for people who are looking for a route for a gentle and peaceful walk among the Tatra peaks. An additional attraction is the Wielki Kopieniec peak, from which there is a wonderful panorama of the Tatra Mountains. If you are looking for a place in the Tatra Mountains where there are no large crowds, as on the road to Morskie Oko or on the trail to Giewont, then go to the Olczyska Valley. In this entry you will find information about the hiking route to the Olczyska Valley and a report from the trail. We invite you!

Olczyska Meadow

Highlight • Natural

A nice place to rest and eat something (from a bag - there are no McDonald's here, thank goodness!). There is a bench with a table next to a wooden hut.

Once, in the 18th century, there were 20 such huts here - shepherd's buildings - now there are only three. The glade used to be part of Hala Olczysko, which belonged to the highlanders from Biały Dunajec.

Beautiful views, but that's everywhere here.
