Strążyska Valley and Siklawica

Strążyska Valley and Siklawica

Strążyska Valley is the most easily accessible and at the same time one of the most beautiful Tatra alpine valleys. It cuts a deep wedge between the steep slopes of Turnia Kiernia and Sarnia Skała. A walk through the Strążyska Valley provides a lot of excitement and at the same time the route is very gentle, along the way it is worth noting the vertical rocks protruding from the forest - these are the Strążyska Chimneys. In the clearing at the end of the valley you will find a comfortable place to rest and a small buffet-herbacary in a historic highland chalet. Look upwards - above us the northern wall of Giewont is proud. From here you can hike to Sarnia Skała, Giewont and towards Silkawica (just 20 minutes), one of the most beautiful Tatra waterfalls.

The entrance to the Strążyska Valley is 800m from the 5 Valleys trails. You will get there in less than 13 minutes.
