A short route of 6.3 km with 123 m of ascent from Pod Wysokim to Czarna Górna Kopalnia. Estimated walking time: about 2 h, not counting stops. Difficulty: easy. Waymarking: blue.

How we estimate walking time

By Naismith's rule, used by mountain clubs and guidebooks: an average hiker walks 4 km an hour on the flat and needs one more hour for every 600 m of ascent. For this trail: 6.3 km ÷ 4 = 1.6 h + 123 m ÷ 600 = 0.2 h, about 2 h of walking in total.

  • Breaks, snacks and photos: add 20–30 %.
  • A heavy pack, children, snow, a wet path or windfall add more; a long steep descent also takes time, especially for the knees.
  • The height of the Carpathians (up to 2,655 m) hardly changes the pace — on the ridges wind, fog and weather slow you down.
  • Limits: up to 9 h is one day; 9–13 h is a very long day or two; over 13 h means several days with overnight stays.
