Best Long-Distance Hikes in Poland
There are 205 hikes in Poland in our database that fit. They average 134 km and 2,925 m (9,596 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 1237 km.
That is 10 percent of the 2,062 routes we map in Poland. They run noticeably longer than average for the area, 134 km against 25.4 km, so budget more daylight than a typical outing here. The climbing is steeper too: 2,925 m (9,596 ft) on average versus 557 m (1,827 ft) across the wider area.
Multi-day paths, normally walked in stages, with the accommodation and waymarking to support them. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
