The married couple and the child were transported to the hospital in Zakopane as quickly as possible. In an interview with Polsat News, the hospital's director said: "The injured were not directly struck by lightning, but announced. They have abrasions, their lives are not in danger.

Lightning in the Tatras - safety and prudence is a priority!

Mountains can be beautiful. They constantly attract large crowds of tourists from very distant places. The Tatras are unique - tourists from Poland and abroad come here. The Tatras delight with their majesty, breathtaking views ... a mystery that hovers over them. They are tempting and treacherous too - you have to be very careful when dealing with them. Contrary to appearances, the trail from Hala Gąsienicowa to Kuźnice is not difficult. However, as you can see, an accident could have happened here as well. We can cover this route for a modest half an hour - using one of the two available versions of the routes - through Boczań and through the Jaworzynka Valley.
