TREK: Palenica Białczańska - Rusinowa Polana - Gęsia Szyja - Psia Trawka - Polana Kopieniec - Polana Olczyska - Nosalowa Przełęcz - Kuźnice Map

Very easy and enjoyable trek through the forest area of the Tatra National Park. There is only one rocky ridge called the 'Goose neck' but this section is short and undemanding. You will also pass traditional pasture at Rusinowa Polana, where you can try traditional dairy products. Very good for a starter day, worse weather or a regeneration day. PErfect for an excursion with kids.
