Tyniok, Mountain summit in Silesian Beskids, Poland

Tyniok rises 892 meters above sea level with two peaks, featuring a forested eastern summit and a western peak covered in fields and pastures.

During the 19th century, miners extracted siderite iron ore from dark chalk shales near Tyniok, processing the materials at the Węgierska Górka foundry.

The mountain's name derives from 'tynina', referring to spruce log slats traditionally used by local shepherds to construct sheep enclosures in the region.

Visitors can access Tyniok through a blue-marked hiking trail that runs from Zwardoń to Barania Góra, passing along the eastern slopes below the summit.

The mountain's earlier name, Rdzawka, originated from the distinctive red coloration of the soil, which contains high concentrations of iron compounds.
