About

Giewont, located in the scenic Polish Tatra mountains near Zakopane, offers a thrilling outdoor adventure with a mix of entertainment, natural beauty, and mountainous terrain. Standing at an altitude of 1894 meters, Giewont mountain is a hiker’s paradise, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.8 on Google.

Adventurers can choose from four different routes to reach the summit, with the blue marked trail taking approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes. The journey rewards hikers with stunning views and a sense of achievement. It’s accessible for most people in good health, though the final stretch includes a bit of rock scrambling aided by chains.

An interesting tidbit: in the 15th and 16th centuries, copper was mined from the Giewont massif, in a mine known as Gyewant. This adds a historical twist to your hiking experience. Make sure to savor every moment of this high-altitude adventure!
