45 minute’s walk from Jaszczurowka (residential area of Zakopane), 2 km walk, 150 metres of alltitude difference green trail nice and relatively easy walk to get you going and prepare for higher climbs in the Tatra mountains small parking lot at the entry to the valley, otherwise 15 minute’s walk from the Orla Perc, entry near a former swimming pool with thermal waters, today’s nature reserve of spotted salamanders managed by the authorities of the Tatra National Park (the name of the place Jaszczurowka comes from the local word for those) at the end of the journey you will find a small clearing which is an excellent place for sunbathing in the summer, in spring it is covered with thousands of lilac crocuses, very typical of this part of Poland, and a few wooden huts traditionally called „szalas” that used to provide shelter to shepards when sheep grazing was still allowed in the mountains and finally the springs of the Olczyski Potok (Olczyski Stream) that begins in fact in the 3 km distant Panszczyca Valley and makes it to Olczyska Valley in a form of underground river stream highly recommended!!
