The hike is spectacular!! You can hike the peak from Slovakia and/or Poland. We ascended from Slovakia and descended in Poland which was amazing 14 hours hike (with very many stops). Slovak side is physically easier and less scenic, while Polish side is much steeper and very narrow at a few places which causes some congestions as in generally this is one of the most popular and busiest hikes in the region. Good hiking gear is a must, but there is no need for ropes or so. Last few hundred meters to the top require scrambling. Views are absolutely fantastic!!

One of the lowest passes just over Zakopane district of Kuznice. A gateway to highest parts of Tatra mountains.

Three peaks. Rogacz, Radziejowa and Prehyba. All of them beautiful on the same route. In the top of Radziejowa there is wooden view tower, on which is good to climb to.

One of most significant peaks in Tatry mountains, of 2155 m above sea level, accessible by a marked trail.

Kościelec, with its 2155 m above sea level, is one of most important mountains for hikers in Polish part of Tatra mountains. It forms a branch ridge, from a branch ridge which meets the main Tatra ridge at Świnica. As Kościelec is a very short ridge, it divides south part of large Dolina Gąsienicowa valley into two part. Kościelec is supposedly the only place, from where all ponds in Dolina Gąsienicowa can be seen.Very challenging trail leading to the top of Kościelec - for many it all starts in Schronisko Murowaniec, from where blue trail leads to Czarny Staw Gąsienicowy, passing a small monument to Mieczyslaw Karłowicz, Polish composer and conductor, who died there in 1909 under avalanche from Kościelec. From Czarny Staw there's a black trail, which looks quite short and innocent on maps, but it climbs something like 533 meters from the level of Czarny Staw to the top of Kościelec in only 1,7 km of length. Definitely one of toughest trails in Tatra, especially in second part, from Karb pass - Karb is the place, where another blue trail joins the black one - that blue one id often used as a way back to Schronisko Murowaniec. From Karb things start to get serious on black trail, the angle of the slope os about 30 degrees, and there's no chains or other such facilities, only warning signs about rocks being slippery when wet. About three points on the way, that are very tough, in shape of rocky chimneys. But if you can pass those obstructions - the view is absolutely beautiful from the top. Worth every sweat lost on the way. Unfortunately way back is much trickier, as the steep slopes under your feet now can be clearly seen -not so much on the way up, as everyone pays more attention on whats ahead, and not below.
