Suchy Żleb, also known as Kalackie Koryto, is a grassy gully descending from the eastern slopes of Długi Giewont straight down to the Kalatówki meadow. This is a place where the history of Polish skiing meets the beauty of the Western Tatras - back in 1939 it hosted the FIS World Championship slalom, and today it hosts a retro-style ski race every Easter Monday.

The gully drops steeply, first eastward then northeast, with an elevation difference of about 380 metres. Lower down it widens into a funnel shape, flanked by Kalacka Turnia on one side and Kalacki Upłaz on the other. Because the bedrock is limestone, no stream flows through it - hence the name Dry Gully. In summer it's a scenic grassy slope with views of the Giewont massif, while in winter it remains one of the oldest ski areas in the Polish Tatras, complete with a working button lift.

• Kuźnice - trail towards Kalatówki, about 45-60 minutes walk, easy route
• Kalatówki mountain hut - direct access to the lower part of the gully, just a few minutes away

• In winter the area is used by skiers, with a button lift operating in the lower section
• A retro-style ski race takes place here every Easter Monday
• Two caves, Kalacka Nyża I and Kalacka Nyża II, are found in the gully's slopes

Few visitors realize that this modest meadow above Kalatówki was one of the birthplaces of Polish downhill skiing - worth remembering as you pass by this now peaceful, once heavily grazed slope.
