Niżni Kostur

Unterer Liptauer Wachturm is a mountain summit in the High Tatra range located on the border between Slovakia and Poland. The peak features grassy terrain on its Slovak-facing slopes and transitions to rockier terrain on its eastern exposure.

The summit was first reached in 1902 during an early mountaineering expedition in this section of the Tatra range. This climb marked the beginning of modern exploration activities in the Liptow Walls region.

This peak marks the natural border between Slovakia and Poland, representing centuries of territorial demarcation between these two neighboring mountain communities.

The summit and surrounding mountain area are not open to public access and are subject to strict protection measures. Visitors should check local regulations before visiting, as conditions may change seasonally.

The mountain hosts rare specimens of Saxifraga cotyledon, a plant species found only in select locations throughout the Tatra Mountains. This specialized flora adds to the scientific value of the protected area.
