Getting There

Buczynowe Turnie are located in the last section of Orla Perć;, in the vicinity of Krzyżne Saddle. I say "last section", because, if you want to pass the whole Orla Perć, you have to start on Zawrat Saddle on the opposite side, because the section Zawrat-Kozi Wierch is one-way section.

You can start in Zakopane, and go to Murowaniec hut (1505 m) (1 1/2 h from Kuźnice - blue or yellow marked path).
From Murowaniec take the yellow marked path, going over the slopes of Żółta Turnia, covered by dwarf pines, to Dolina Pańszczyca Valley. There is a small lake - Czerwony Staw. From this valley we continue straight up to Krzyżne Saddle (2112 m) - 2 1/2 h from Murowaniec. Further continue along the red marked route - Orla Perć. From there you can easy climb on Mała Buczynowa Turnia, but the summit of Wielka Buczynowa Turnia is not accessible (but it was in the past).

The second option is yellow marked path from Dolina Pięciu Stawów Polskich (1671 m). - 2 hours.

Or, the third option, you can go there from Granaty (description in Granaty page).
