Notes and recommendations

Thunderstorms can be very dangerous and possibly fatal because of the many chains and other metal supports leading and close to the exposed peak.

I would recommend wearing a helmet during the ascent to Zawrat.

The red marked trail from Zawrat to Świnica is one-way, so it should very much be avoided turning back on this section of the trail.
