For a shelter, the food is quite good, especially the sweet snacks - cheesecake, apple pie, normal prices, quite crowded in season and it's better to book accommodation in advance. In good weather, you can eat a meal outside with a beautiful free view of the Tatra Mountains.

From the mountain hut to the summit of Turbacz is really not far. The view is worth the entire trip.

The Bór nad Czerwonym reserve is located on the northern edge of Nowy Targ and protects a unique raised peat bog with a characteristic marsh forest. You can drive along the gravel road on the eastern side of the reserve, or along designated paths and wooden footbridges through the middle - but I do not recommend doing this after rain, because there are many muddy places.

Probably the most famous climb in Poland by road cyclists, one of the most demanding stages of the Tour de Pologne. Thanks to this, Gliczarów is also known in Europe. Average gradient of 5.8% in less than 6 kilometers, in the most difficult parts exceeds 15%. After reaching the top, a quiet descent to Bukowina awaits us.

The views of the Tatra Mountains from this mountain hut are jaw-dropping. It's located at the intersection of many trails, including those to Kudłoń, Stare Wierchy, and, of course, nearby Turbacz. Food and drink are available, of course, and accommodations are available too. It's a fantastic place.

Turbacz is the highest peak in the Gorce Mountains, measuring 1310 m above sea level, popular with tourists at any time of year. At the top there is a shelter with a beautiful view of the Tatras, which is a great place to rest after a hike. The trails leading to Turbacz are well marked, but due to the elevation gain and length of the routes, it is worth stocking up on solid trekking shoes.
