Wierch Skalnity

Wierch Skalnity is a mountain summit in the Silesian Beskids standing at about 1120 meters with rocky slopes and natural outcrops. Multiple marked hiking trails cross its sides, connecting different starting points and offering various routes to reach the top.

The peak served as a reference point in the early 1900s for mapping the boundary region between Poland and Czechoslovakia. Its location made it an important landmark when surveyors established border zones in this part of the Beskids.

The summit sits along a path where hikers from both sides of the border have gathered for generations. Local mountaineers and visitors come here to experience the shared mountain culture between Polish and Czech communities.

The summit can be reached from several starting points via clearly marked trails equipped with information boards and rest areas. The routes remain accessible throughout the year, though conditions on the slopes vary depending on the season.

The rocky formations at the summit display patterns that reveal to researchers the tectonic processes that shaped the entire Beskids mountain range millions of years ago. These geological features attract visitors curious about natural history and mountain building.
