Żabia Turnia Mięguszowiecka, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Poland.
Żabia Turnia Mięguszowiecka is a mountain summit in the High Tatras located on the Polish-Slovak border at 2336 meters in elevation. It sits between Żabi Koń and Wołowa Turnia and can be reached through climbing routes from both nations.
The first recorded ascent occurred in 1905, with a winter climb following in 1913. These early mountaineering accomplishments established the summit as a recognized climbing destination.
The summit draws climbers from both Poland and Slovakia who pursue different routes based on their starting point. Each approach carries its own requirements for permits and club affiliations.
From the Polish side, climbers must register their ascent and carry mountaineering club membership documentation for access. Conditions vary by season, and weather changes quickly at this elevation.
The northern wall drops 350 meters and displays three tiers with a moderate middle section wedged between steep upper and lower sections. This layered formation results from tectonic processes and creates an unusual climbing landscape.
