Sokolica, Mountain summit in Pieniny National Park, Poland
The limestone peak of Sokolica rises 747 meters above sea level, featuring steep cliffs that drop 300 meters toward the Dunajec River below.
The mountain earned its name, meaning Falcons' Rock, from the birds of prey that nested within its cliffs during past centuries.
Local mountaineering traditions center around Sokolica, with designated trails connecting the towns of Krościenko and Szczawnica to the summit.
Hikers can access the summit through multiple marked paths, with the blue trail from Szczawnica requiring approximately one hour of walking time.
Ancient pine trees, reaching ages of 500 years, grow directly from the limestone rocks at the summit of Sokolica.
