Gęsia Szyja, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Poland.
The Gęsia Szyja peak reaches an elevation of 1,489 meters and features curved dolomite rocks forming its distinctive summit structure.
Józef Borkowski and Mariusz Zaruski completed the first winter ascent of Gęsia Szyja on skis on April 4, 1907.
The mountain's name translates to Goose Neck, referring to the narrow, curved ledge on its eastern ridge that resembles a goose's neck.
Visitors can access the summit via wooden stairs from Rusinowa Polana, following a green-marked trail that starts at the Wierch Poroniec parking lot.
The mountain slopes contain rare limestone-loving plants, including one of Poland's few locations of Moravian monkshood, discovered in 2007.
