Żabi Szczyt Niżni, Border summit in High Tatras, Slovakia and Poland.
Żabi Szczyt Niżni is a summit in the High Tatras located along the border between Poland and Slovakia. The peak features a granite ridge that stretches horizontally for about 100 meters, creating a distinctive mountain profile.
The peak was first documented to be reached in the early 20th century through mountaineering efforts in the region. Since then, it has served as a significant border marker between the two nations.
The name means Lower Frog Peak, reflecting how people in the region named places after the local geography and wildlife. You will encounter this naming pattern repeatedly when exploring the surrounding valleys and peaks.
The summit requires specialized climbing gear and technical experience to reach, as it is not accessible via marked trails. Before attempting any approach, check local conditions on both the Polish and Slovak sides, as access restrictions apply.
A concrete border post sits directly on the peak's ridge, marking the exact boundary between the two countries. This simple but symbolic structure is a tangible reminder of how geography shapes political divisions.
