Kamiennik

Kamiennik is a summit in the Pieniny Mountains, part of the Carpathian range in Lesser Poland. The peak rises to about 591 meters and forms a recognizable group with neighboring mountains Żeleźniak and Kościelec in this limestone-dominated landscape.

The summit served as a natural boundary marker between administrative regions throughout Lesser Poland's territorial development. Its location made it a known orientation point in the region's landscape for centuries.

Local mountaineering groups maintain traditional hiking routes to Kamiennik's peak, supporting regional outdoor recreation and environmental education programs.

The best hiking season runs from May through October when paths are dry and passable. Sturdy footwear and a map are important since the trails in this mountain group become steep and rocky in sections.

The peak stands as the 972nd highest mountain in the Dolnośląskie region and ranks 2,805th among all documented summits in Poland.
