Chełm

Chełm is a mountain summit in the Western Beskids located at 779 meters elevation in Małopolskie Voivodeship. The peak rises above the surrounding terrain and overlooks the valleys of the nearby Dunajec River.

The limestone peak played a role in local mining history during the 19th century, supporting regional industrial development through mineral extraction. These historic extraction activities shaped the landscape and transportation routes in the area.

Local mountaineers maintain traditional hiking routes to the summit, marking paths that connect neighboring villages through the mountain passes.

The ascent from Łącko village follows marked hiking trails with moderate slopes and takes around two hours to complete. The routes also connect to neighboring mountain paths for those seeking longer walks through the area.

From the summit visitors can enjoy views of the Dunajec River valley and neighboring Beskid Sądecki mountains across all four seasons. These seasonal perspectives reveal different colors and light conditions that dramatically shift the landscape appearance.
