Czertezik, Mountain summit in Pieniny Mountains, Poland.
Czertezik is a summit in the Pieniny Mountains that provides wide views of limestone formations and forested valleys in all directions. The peak sits within a landscape shaped by exposed rock walls and dense woodlands.
The limestone structures formed many millions of years ago during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. This geological history created the mountain landscape visible today.
The summit attracts hikers who come to experience the landscape and share their passion for mountain walking. Visitors often gather here to enjoy the views and spend time in nature together.
A marked trail reaches the summit through forest, taking about two hours of hiking with several steep sections along the way. Wear proper hiking boots and plan enough time, especially if you walk at a slower pace.
Rare mountain plants grow in the cracks between limestone rocks, found only in a few places in the region. These plants are adapted to the harsh mountain climate and reveal the ecosystem's variety.
