Jarmuta

Jarmuta is a mountain summit in the Małe Pieniny range reaching 794 meters above sea level with limestone formations and steep, forested slopes. The peak sits within a landscape shaped by mixed woodland vegetation that covers its rocky sides.

The summit served as a strategic observation post during medieval border disputes between Polish and Hungarian territories. This vantage point played a role in territorial conflicts that shaped the region's political boundaries.

Local residents maintain traditions of seasonal mountain shepherding near Jarmuta, continuing practices that date from the 15th century.

Marked hiking trails to the summit begin from the town of Szczawnica and wind through forest areas with several rest stops along the way. The paths provide regular opportunities to stop and catch your breath during the climb.

A television transmitter station sits atop the summit broadcasting signals across the surrounding valleys of the Pieniny region. This modern infrastructure remains relatively unnoticed by most visitors despite its prominent location.
