Jeleni Žleb is a wide, gentle gully in the Western Tatras that stands out for its easy passage among the generally wild and demanding surrounding ridges. It is a great spot for those who want to experience mountain wilderness without technical difficulty.

The gully descends from Niżnia Sucha Przełęcz pass toward Wielka Rówień, in the south-eastern part of Dolina Strążyska (Strążyska Valley). It is bordered on the south by Jeleni Grzbiet ridge and on the north by Koński Grzbiet ridge, from which small rocky walls up to several dozen metres high drop down. In its upper section, a short rocky ridgelet branching off from Klasztory divides the gully into two arms. The slopes are forested lower down and become progressively rockier higher up - lush and shaded in summer, quiet and snow-covered in winter, though winter conditions demand extra caution. What makes this gully distinctive is that it is shallow and free of the dense dwarf pine thickets that make many neighbouring ridges difficult to cross.

• Dolina Strążyska (from Zakopane) — no marked trail runs directly through the gully, reaching it requires good route-finding skills, difficulty: moderate
• Dolina Białego — alternative approach from the eastern side, terrain requiring good orientation

• No marked tourist trail through the gully - good terrain knowledge or Tatra hiking experience recommended
• Plenty of deer and roe deer live in the surrounding area

The name of the gully, like the nearby Jeleni Grzbiet, Sarni Grzbiet and Sarnia Skała, comes from the abundant deer population in the area. It was here that a rare event was observed - traces showing a bear had managed to chase down and kill a deer among the rocks.
