Getting there

Without a car

Reach Zakopane by the main available train or bus connection, then continue to the start of “Dolina Strążyska” by local bus, shuttle, taxi or on foot as appropriate. Check seasonal timetables before travelling. This is a point-to-point route, so arrange the return from the finish in advance.

By car

Drive via local roads from Zakopane to official Tatra National Park entrances toward the start of “Dolina Strążyska”. Continue only on roads open to private vehicles and complete restricted or rough sections on foot or by an authorised transfer. Leaving a car at the start does not solve the return journey.

Parking

Use an official car park at an official paid national-park entrance car park. Keep access roads, barriers and emergency routes clear.
