tourism

A yellow-marked hiking trail leads to the summit of Szpiglasowy Wierch as a junction of the yellow-marked Ceprostrada hiking trail from the Schronisko PTTK nad Morskim Okiem mountain lake Meerauge . The Gładka Przełęcz mountain pass can be reached from the Polish side via an unmarked hiking trail from the Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich valley and via a marked path from the Slovak side. There is currently no hiking trail on the ridge itself. It may not be used without the permission of one of the national park administrations . In the 1930s there were plans to extend the Ceprostrada over the ridge of the Liptowskie Mury and the massif of the Świnica . Aleksander Bobkowski in particular has advocated the extension. However, only the first section of the Ceprostrada was completed by 1937. Finally, the outbreak of World War II finally ruined the plans. After that, they were no longer picked up.
