Poľský hrebeň, Mountain pass in High Tatras, Slovakia.
Polski Grzebień is a mountain pass in the High Tatras located at around 2200 meters elevation between two major peaks. The crossing links two valleys and provides changing views of the surrounding mountain landscape as you travel through it.
The pass served as a natural crossing point between neighboring regions and was regularly used by travelers over time. Political boundaries in this area shifted through the centuries due to broader geopolitical changes.
The pass takes its name from its historical importance as a route for Polish travelers and appears in writings by various Polish authors. Today hikers use this crossing to move between the two valleys while taking in views of the surrounding mountain ridges.
The climb requires solid hiking boots and mountain experience as the final sections are steep and secured with fixed chains. Late spring through early autumn is the best season for attempting the crossing when snow has melted.
An unmarked trail from the pass leads experienced climbers with certified guides toward the highest peak of the Carpathian range. This route is not shown on standard maps and remains accessible only to experienced mountaineers with proper preparation.
