Góra Pięciu Kopców

Góra Pięciu Kopców rises to 1,534 meters above sea level, featuring a broad summit platform covered with dwarf mountain pine and alpine meadows with rocky debris.

After World War II, this peak served as the highest accessible point for Polish tourists, as access to the nearby higher Pilsko summit was restricted with severe penalties.

The mountain serves as a meeting point of the Polish-Slovak border and the European Continental Divide, separating the Baltic Sea and Black Sea drainage basins.

Hikers can reach the summit through multiple marked trails, with the most direct route starting from Korbielów village and passing through the PTTK mountain shelter at Hala Miziowa.

Between Góra Pięciu Kopców and Pilsko lies one of the highest springs in the Beskid Żywiecki range at 1,550 meters, accessible via a small path through dwarf pine.
