Orla Perć

Orla Perć, in English known as the Eagle's Path, is a tourist trail in the Tatra Mountains, in southern Poland.

It is considered one of the most difficult and dangerous public paths in the entire Tatras (an equivalent to Grade 2 Scramble)[1] and is therefore a suitable route only for experienced climbers.

Numerous aids for tourists are provided at the most steep and vertical stretches, including ladders, stepladders, chains and metal steps.

[6] After several fatal accidents, in 2006 a mountain guide Irena Rubinowska and Piotr Mikucki, a film director, launched an appeal to the authorities of the Tatra National Park to dismount all climbing aids along the path and change it to via ferrata.

As many accidents took place when passing in the opposite direction, the TPN Directorate has introduced one-way traffic at the most difficult section of Orla Perć from Zawrat to Kozi Wierch in July 2007.
