tourism

A green marked hiking trail leads to the Wrota Chałubińskiego mountain pass as a junction of the yellow marked Ceprostrada hiking trail from the Schronisko PTTK nad Morskim Okiem mountain lake Meerauge . The Szpiglasowy Wierch peak can also be reached via a junction from the Ceprostrada. There is an unmarked hiking trail on the ridge itself, which cannot be walked on without the permission of the National Park Administration. Contrary to the first appearance, the Kammweg is not an easy high-altitude path. It was only committed in its full length on July 27, 1966 by Janusz Mączek . After that, there were several fatal accidents on him, so that the path was closed as a result.
