Orla Perć, Mountain trail in Tatra Mountains, Poland
The Orla Perć extends for 4.5 kilometers across granite slabs and steep sections, reaching its highest point at Kozi Wierch at 2,291 meters elevation.
Polish poet Franciszek Nowicki conceived the trail in 1901, and Father Walenty Gadowski supervised its construction from 1903 to 1906 with local workers.
The path connects eight different junctions leading to mountain shelters, serving as a central route for experienced mountaineers in the Polish Tatra region.
The trail requires technical climbing equipment and takes between 6 to 8 hours to complete, with mandatory one-way traffic from Zawrat to Kozi Wierch.
Metal aids including chains, ladders, and steps assist hikers through difficult sections, while the path maintains its status as Poland's most technical hiking route.
