The nearby Baligówka Peat Bog is protected under the Natura 2000 program. An educational trail of about 3 km starts there at Bacówka Baligówka. Information boards explain peat formation and selected plant and animal species. The trail thus combines a short distance with topics to look out for along the way: the formation of peat and the bog’s wildlife.

Rare wetland plants have been recorded in the bog, including cranberries, long-leaved sundew and marsh cinquefoil. If you are interested in peat bogs, these names give you specific plants to look out for during a visit; the information boards complement the plants you see with explanations of peat formation and selected species.

The hills above Piekielnik offer a panorama of the Tatra Mountains. This is a different landscape experience from the trail through the peat bog: here, the focus is on views from higher ground, while there, information boards explain the bog landscape. Each may appeal to different interests when planning your trip.

If you want to compare natural landscapes, there are several themes to choose from: views of the Tatra Mountains from the hills above the village, the protected peat bog and the plants and animals covered along the educational trail. Check specific accommodation offers and their features in the booking search.
