Blue Trail to the Shelter under Durbaszka
The trail offers breathtaking views! It leads us along the ridge of the Small Pieniny Mountains - from here, we have a view of Szczawnica and the panorama of the Tatra Mountains. We pass numerous clearings and benches with resting spots. We can also encounter grazing sheep and take a look at the shepherd's hut along the way.
Wysoki Wierch, 989 m above sea level
The blue trail, leading along the ridge of the Small Pieniny Mountains, bypasses the dome-shaped peak of Wysoki Wierch (the one above the shepherd's hut). It is worth taking a short detour on the yellow trail to reach there. The views from all four sides are truly impressive!
