🌺 PLEASE READ CAREFULLY 🌺
🌺 We could start with beautiful words and great reviews, but first we want to say: Szałas na Szlaku is in a very special and unique place. It’s beautiful, but it also has some difficulties. These are not a problem for people who know life in the countryside, but we want you to book with full knowledge. Please read the descriptions and look at the photos of the access road and the small bridge over the stream. If you have questions – feel free to ask. 😉
👤 We welcome adults aged 25+ with children. No pets. No parties. We have 12 beds, but sometimes there are limits on the number of people. The whole house is just for you, but the number of rooms and bathrooms depends on the offer. The standard price includes 1 room for 2 people. You can find details in our Terms. If you come with more people, please tell us when you book. 😉
🙋♀️ CHECK-IN 🙋♂️
We meet you in person between 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM. We check in only the number of adults and children from the booking (no animals). We welcome you and explain safety rules and give local tips. Sometimes we can check you in earlier – even from 11:00 AM. We will let you know the day before if possible. 😉
🚗 LOCATION AND CONDITIONS 🚗
🛣️🚦 The road to Dolina Lejowa is 1300 meters long and made of stones. You don’t need an SUV, but you must drive slowly and carefully. Cars like Toyota Auris, Skoda Octavia, and Ford Fiesta manage well. Low, sporty cars may hit stones – please remember this. In winter, after heavy snow, access can be hard. You may need to park at Biały Potok Ski Area or Ziębówka Restaurant and walk to the cabin. In winter, gaiters are useful to keep snow out of your shoes and pants. This is a normal trail for hikers from the Chochołowska Valley bus stop.
🅿️ 🛻 You can park your car on a neighbour’s property, in the place we show you. From there, it’s easier to carry bags. This parking is closed from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM. If you come back late, you must park near Dolina Lejowa and walk to the cabin over the footbridge. We use the bridge daily and enter the parking only to take something from the car. Please be quiet near the neighbour’s house and respect their privacy.
🎒🥾 The path to the cabin goes over a small bridge. Please check the photos. We made a gallery with signs and helpful notes. It is not easy to use strollers or roll suitcases because the ground can be slippery (rain, mud, snow, ice). Use big, comfortable backpacks and light bags. Many families with kids visit us, but this should be your own decision.
🚶♂️🚶♀️ You must carry your luggage. From Dolina Lejowa it is about 250 meters, and from the parking it’s 130 meters. We help you if we can. Usually, carrying everything takes 10–20 minutes. Walking without luggage from Dolina Lejowa to the cabin takes about 3 minutes.
🪨❄️ Remember: this is already a mountain trail! The ground is natural – stones, grass, soil. It can be slippery depending on the season. Ice, melting snow, and deep snow can happen. Usually, you can walk around the ice or mud, but sometimes the whole path can be frozen. You might need to walk in snow or clean the path to your car. We have a snow shovel and broom. We try to help you. 🙂
🦋🪰 Sometimes we have flies or small insects – this is normal in wooden houses. Because we are near the forest, it’s possible, but usually not a problem. If you leave the light on and windows open, you may invite more flying guests. 🙂
🛜📱 We don’t have shared Wi-Fi, but mobile LTE signal works fine with most networks. We sometimes check internet speed – it’s usually 10–20 Mbps download and 15–19 Mbps upload. If you need to work, bring your own router. If not – enjoy a break from screens. 🙂
🌀🧦 We don’t have a washing machine, clothes dryer, or oven.
👍 OUR TIPS 👍
✅🚗 In the mountains, winter tires with good tread are a must from November to April. All-season tires are risky here – they are OK in cities, but not on snowy forest roads. Roads near Zakopane stay snowy or icy longer. Bring a strong metal snow shovel and a broom. Snow chains are not usually needed, but it’s OK to pack them.
✅🥾 Use backpacks and light bags. It’s better to walk two or three times than to carry one heavy suitcase. Bring strong shoes – hiking boots (even 2 pairs) and waterproofing spray. Sneakers get wet and dirty fast. For ice – use shoe spikes, for deep snow – gaiters. Dress for the season. Weather can change fast. Even in summer, bring a raincoat with a hood. Headlamps and extra batteries are also useful.
🛞 ADDRESS & DIRECTIONS 🛞
Our address: Witów 304e, 34-512 Witów
Make sure your GPS shows the entrance to Dolina Lejowa, not Groń (which is 12 minutes away). We will wait for you by the barrier at the time we agree the day before. We will walk with you to the cabin and tell you more about the area.
The house is in a safe place, away from the main Zakopane road – peaceful, but still close to popular attractions. There is a neighbour who lives 150 meters away with his family, but the hill between the houses gives you privacy.
It takes about 10 minutes (800 m) to walk to the main road via the trail toward the ski area. There are restaurants nearby, including the popular Ziębówka – you can walk there (20 minutes / 1300 m). Dolina Lejowa is just 170 m from the cabin and connects to Dolina Kościeliska. On the other side, after 450 m, starts Dolina Chochołowska.
This amazing location lets you start your day trips in the Tatra Mountains straight from your door – no driving, no traffic, no searching for parking.
