Mały Stożek

Stożek Mały is a 843-meter (2,766 ft) summit in the Beskid Śląski range, sitting directly on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic. The mountain rises above surrounding valleys and connects to other peaks in the ridge system of this mountain chain.

The summit has served as a natural border marker between Poland and the Czech Republic for centuries, making it a recognized point for both nations. Its location on the frontier has established it as a significant landmark for people traveling and living on either side of the boundary.

Red-marked tourist trails along the summit follow the Polish-Czech border, connecting major peaks from Wielka Czantoria to Wielki Stożek for international hikers.

The summit is accessible via several marked hiking trails, including a green path from Kolibisk and a yellow route to the PTTK mountain shelter. Proper footwear and a map are helpful for navigating the paths clearly, especially on steeper sections.

The summit is surrounded by the Dziechcinka and Jerzy streams, which flow from opposite sides of the ridge into separate valleys below. Small residences in the nearby Czech hamlet sit at the mountain's base, offering a glimpse of how communities exist in this border region.
