Tips from the Community
Valley opens itself from the top of Rakoń mountain, it looks much more spectacular from there then you could imagine below!) First 3.5 km of asphalt road ideally skip with wagon going around from 8 am till 5 pm in a season. Or you could take your bikes (or rent it there) and go directly to the Schronisko by mostly flat and comfort road, keeping your strength to the climbing upper ;)

It's usually very crowded in high season, as the ascent is easy and flat. I recommend the apple pie.

A long and monotonous valley, but often covered in crocuses in spring.
