Trekking from the Shelter in the Dolinie Pięciu Stawów (Valley of Five Polish Ponds) through Kozia Przełęcz to the Dolina Gąsienicowa, a short rest at the Murowaniec shelter and return via Zawrat. Length of the route: 15.3 km, time is about 8 hours; the sum of ascents and descents 1387 m. A very interesting route and rather medium difficult, although there are quite a lot of chains at the entrance to Zwarat. The trail can be seen on the map: https://mapa-turystyczna.pl/route/qkv3.

This wall is impressive - if you look closely, you will see mountaineers climbing on it. The red trail - Orla Perć - runs along the northern wall of Zamarła Turnia. In the section from Zawrat to Kozi Wierch, the trail is one-way (from west to east).

The legendary metal ladder on Orla Perć - descent from Zamarła Turnia to the Kozia Przełęcz. When following the yellow trail from the valley Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich to Dolina Gąsienicowa you must be careful not to enter the red trail.

Orla Perć is the most difficult hiking trail in Poland. It is better not to climb it if you do not have experience with hiking in the mountains and you are afraid of high heights. It is worth wearing a helmet on your head (because sometimes stones can fall) and gloves to protect your hands from chains and rocks.

An accident on Orla Perć and a TOPR helicopter
We have seen the TOPR helicopter many times during several days in the Tatra Mountains. This time it was a rescue operation on the slopes of Kozi Wierch. Rescuers helped the injured in an accident on Orla Perć.
