Dolina Białego
White Creek Valley
Dolina Białego is a low lying valley and is easily accessible from Zakopane. This valley is great for hiking in both the summer and the winter. Due to its low level and fairly easy path, this valley can be reached even with snow during the winter.
Dolina Białego, Dolina Ku Dziurze and Dolina Strążyska as well as some others are all connected by one path called ‘Droga pod Reglami’ (Path undre Regle). This pass runs along the outskirts of the Tatra National Park.
At the start of the Valley, there is a ticket office where you must purchase your enterance to the National Park. This is a small fee ( 5zl per adult) that is used for the daily upkeep and maintainance throughout the park.
