Gówniak, Mountain summit in Żywiec Beskids, Poland.
Gówniak rises to 1644 meters within the Babia Góra massif, featuring rocky outcrops surrounded by extensive boulder fields and alpine vegetation.
The mountain marked the boundary between Galicia and Orawa during the Kingdom of Hungary period, with granite border markers still visible along its slopes.
Local shepherds from Orawa traditionally used the rocky outcrops near the summit as natural shelters for their cattle during overnight stays.
Multiple hiking trails cross the summit, connecting to the Main Beskid Trail and leading to higher peaks including Mały Garb Niżni and Mały Garb Wyżni.
Alpine anemones bloom abundantly across the rocky debris fields during spring, creating natural gardens at this high elevation location.
