Glinne

Glinne is a mountain summit in the Tatra range reaching about 1,034 meters in elevation. The area features steep slopes, rocky ridges, and valleys that form part of the broader Carpathian chain.

This peak formed millions of years ago through tectonic forces that shaped the Carpathian range during the Alpine mountain-building period. Human presence in the region grew with herding traditions and later with mining and trail building.

The area around this peak holds modest stone shelters where hikers stop to rest and share meals with others on the trail. Local villages below depend on mountain tourism and seasonal work, shaping how people here live through the year.

Well-marked trails climb to the summit from several starting points, though sturdy footwear and reasonable fitness are needed for the hike. Winter months from November through March bring snow and ice, so warm clothing and careful footing become essential parts of any visit.

On clear days the summit offers views that stretch across borders into neighboring territories because of its position near the Polish and Slovak frontier. This location makes it a striking vantage point for observing how the landscape shifts from one side to the other.
