Renovation on the trail to Morskie Oko. Check what is changing for tourists
The renovation of the trail to Morskie Oko is forcing tourists to change their plans. Closures of sections, alternative routes and suspension of horse transport are just some of the difficulties that await them.
Those planning a trip to Morskie Oko must prepare for difficulties related to the ongoing renovation of the popular trail. The Tatra National Park announced that the works will cover the section near the Wanta forester’s lodge, and horse transport will be suspended. The works will last until further notice, and their schedule will depend on the weather.
On Friday, renovation works will begin on the route to Morskie Oko, which will cover about a kilometer-long section near the Wanta forester’s lodge. On weekdays, pedestrians will have to use alternative paths, because part of the trail will be closed. Although the route is to be accessible on weekends, the section between Wodogrzmoty Mickiewicza and Włosienica is planned to be completely closed during the week. Detours have been planned for tourists, including through the Valley of Five Lakes.
Due to the renovation, horse-drawn carriages, which are a popular means of transport among tourists, will be suspended for the duration of the works. Tourists will have to rely solely on their own strength or use the proposed bypasses. The authorities of the Tatra National Park appeal to tourists for patience and caution when moving along alternative routes.
The renovation works, which are to improve the condition of the trail to Morskie Oko, will last until further notice. Their pace will depend on weather conditions, so it is difficult to predict the exact time of completion. The Tatra National Park asks visitors to follow current announcements and follow the instructions of the law enforcement services, who will supervise tourist traffic.
