Goły Wierch Rusinowy, Mountain summit in Tatra Mountains, Poland.
Goły Wierch is a summit in the Tatra Mountains that rises to 1214 meters (3983 feet) above sea level. Steep slopes descend toward the Tarnowiecka Valley on the east and the Żarskie Valley on the west.
The name means Bare Summit and comes from its past appearance when the peak had no trees and was covered entirely in grass. These conditions shaped the mountain's landscape over time.
The area surrounding Goły Wierch maintains strong connections to traditional mountain shepherding practices that shaped the local landscape over generations.
Two marked trails meet at the peak, letting hikers combine different routes for their journey. Benches and information signs help with navigation and finding your way.
The northern slopes experience a rare winter phenomenon where avalanches occur in areas that remain dry during other seasons. This contrasting feature makes the mountain particularly notable for those who study mountain behavior.
