A scenic hike on a sunny day in the Western Tatra Mountains. From Kuźnice we ascend Kopa Kondracka through Kondracka Pass. Initially, the blue trail leads along a wide road through the Bystra Valley. We pass the vast Kalatówki Glade from below. Behind the glade, we enter the Kondratowa Valley and a moment later reach the Kondratowa Glade. At the fork in the trails at the PTTK shelter, we continue along the blue trail to the Małe Szerokie Valley. The picturesque and scenic valley reaches the Kondracka Pass, which separates Giewont from Kopa Kondracka. We turn south and take the yellow trail through the side ridge of Kopa Kondracka to its summit. From the summit, there is a magnificent view of the Western Tatras, the High Tatras, the Sącz Beskid Mountains, the Pieniny Mountains, the Gorce Mountains, the Wyspowy Beskid, the Żywiec-Orawa Beskid Mountains and the Low Tatras.
