Turbacz is the highest peak of the Gorce Mountains, a small range in the Western Beskids, which is part of the Crown of Polish Mountains. The Gorce range is largely an area of the Gorczański National Park, however, the peak itself lies outside its borders. At the summit, there is an obelisk, an iron cross, an information board, a table, and benches. From here, you can admire the beautiful panorama of the Tatra Mountains. Below the summit is the PTTK Shelter named after Władysław Orkan on Turbacz.

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.

The last section is a scree path with a 31 percent gradient if you're coming from the yellow-white, red-white, and green-white trails... You should know that, which is why I sent you the photo. The tower is an experience... The yellow-white trail is very unpleasant as a climb.

The view of the Three Crowns from the pedestrian and bicycle footbridge over the Dunajec River at the Red Monastery is one of the most recognizable views of the Pieniny Mountains. From this place, you can see the characteristic limestone peaks of the Three Crowns rising above the river gorge, and the footbridge itself is a great vantage point and a stop on the VeloDunajec cycling route or the Trail Around the Tatras. It is also an ideal place for a short break - you can take a photo here, sit by the river or visit the nearby monastery.
