Łysa Polana Tatra Road
DW960Czarna Góra to Łysa Polana
Poland’s highest public road open to cars, cresting at 1,141 m on its run to the Łysa Polana border meadow, threading Tatra National Park with unbroken views of the High Tatra peaks.
From Czarna Góra the road heads south through Bukowina Tatrzańska into Tatra National Park, flanked by spruce and fir with the Rysy massif filling the windscreen. It climbs through sweeping curves to its 1,141 m high point before descending to the Łysa Polana meadow at the Slovak border, gateway for the Morskie Oko lake trail.
