About 167,2 thousand tourists were recorded on the hiking trails in July (data from 19 information and tickets points at the entrances to hiking trails). This is 45% more than in the same period of time in 2019. 46,0 thousand visitors have chosen the most popular hiking trail from Wołosate to Tarnica peak (over 54% more than in the previous year). At all road entrances to the park area 87,4 thousand vehicles were recorded (37% more than in 2019), of which over 20,1 thousand was noted by the automatic motion detector in Wołosate.

Despite of such high general turnout, there were also rarely visited hiking trail (for example:  Bereżki-Przysłup Caryński-Połonina Caryńska, Suche Rzeki-Smerek-Jaworzec, Tarnawa Niżna-Dźwiniacz, Wetlina-Dział-Mała Rawka, Jaworzec-Przełęcz Orłowicza-Smerek).

The crowds on trails in July were the result of the rebound and reaction to easing of government restriction. We do not expect such an increase in August, despite the favorable weather so far. 

We kindly ask all visitors to follow the rules of sightseeing, prepare well for the mountain trips and choose the alternative (not so crowded) routes.
