Description
At (1310 m asl), Turbacz is the highest peak of the Gorce Mountains in Poland. On this unique 2-day adventure, we will enjoy the sunset and sunrise in this emblematic location.
We will set off from Krakow and transfer to the starting point of the trek. We will hike for 5 hours along the trails of the Gorce National Park, which is known for its very well-preserved natural Carpathian forest. From the top of Turbacz, we will enjoy a gorgeous sunset and then settle in a mountain hut for the night. The following day, we will hopefully see the sunrise too, continue hiking and then return.
Keep in mind that we will hike for approximately 5 hours each day, which means you must be fit to join the trek. Of course, we will guide you every step of the way!
