About the route
The route starts and ends in the village of Stara Guta. It goes via the Serednia polonyna, then to Vysoka (1,803 m) and Igrovets (1,804 m). After the peaks, it descends via the Plaiek polonyna back to Stara Guta.
The Serednia polonyna is a convenient place to stay overnight. There are several rest spots and a spring. Lower down on the route there is also a stream where you can collect water. Do not rely on water at Plaiek: the spring there may dry up or be unsuitable for drinking. It is better to collect water before leaving the Igrovets and Vysoka area.
There are ruins of First World War fortifications on the ridge. You can shelter from bad weather behind their stone walls. Note that after rain, the section between Vysoka and the Serednia polonyna may be wet, washed out and slippery. On Igrovets and in the birch woods beyond Plaiek, the trail markings are unclear in places, so it is best to have a GPS device.
