Wielki Rogacz, Mountain peak in Beskid Sądecki range, Poland.
Wielki Rogacz is a mountain in the Beskid Sądecki range reaching 1182 meters with two distinct summits, the western one being higher. The two peaks are separated by a saddle and offer different perspectives along the hiking routes.
The mountain formed as part of the Carpathian range through geological processes over millions of years during the Tertiary period. This extended development shaped the current structure of the mountain landscape.
Local hikers value this mountain as part of their landscape and have used it for outdoor activities across generations. The peak remains an important spot for people exploring nature in the Beskid Sądecki region.
Multiple marked trails reach the summit from different directions, with the main Beskid trail connecting Rytro and Krościenko passing through. Good footwear and weather protection are advisable as conditions change throughout the year.
The mountain serves as a natural watershed from which several streams originate, including Czarna Woda, Mała Roztoka, and Czercz tributaries. These water sources shape the moist environment and ecology of the surrounding valleys.
