Trzy Korony, Mountain summit in Pieniny National Park, Poland
Trzy Korony is a limestone mountain summit in Pieniny National Park in southern Poland, reaching 982 meters across five separate peaks. The highest point sits at Okrąglica, where the view opens over valleys and surrounding mountain ranges.
The first recorded ascent took place in 1767 as mountain hikers began exploring the region. By the 1830s the summit developed into a recognized destination for walkers before becoming part of Pieniny National Park in 1932.
The name refers to three prominent rock ridges that rise like crowns into the sky and have drawn hikers for centuries. The viewing platform at Okrąglica now serves as a popular meeting point where visitors pause to take in the mountain panorama.
Several marked trails lead up from surrounding villages including Szczawnica, Krościenko nad Dunajcem and Sromowce Wyżne. The ascents require basic sure-footedness, especially during wet conditions or in winter months.
On clear days the view from the platform extends up to 63 kilometers, reaching as far as the distant peak of Babia Góra. Geologists estimate the rock in the summit zone at around 150 million years old, making it among the oldest formations in the region.
