Relatively unknown and rarely frequented by tourists, this trail leads us to a vantage point on Kominiarski Wierch from which we can admire a picturesque alpine panorama. We ascend along a comfortable forest path.
After about 40 minutes, we reach a small glade, Nizne Stoly after which the path gets steeper, but after less than 10 minutes, we arrive at Polana Stoły (Stoly Glade). We are compensated for a long trek through the forest by being treated to one of the most magnificent panoramas of the Tatra Mountains – including a wonderful view of the western slopes of Giewont and Ciemniak, as well as a close-up of the Kominiarski Wierch. Stoly Glade marks the end of the trail and we need to return down the same route to Dolina Kościeliska (Koscieliska Valley).
