Niżni Kostur, Mountain summit in High Tatra range, Slovakia.

The Niżni Kostur peak rises to 2055 meters within the Liptow Walls, featuring grassy slopes on the Slovak side and steeper terrain towards Poland.

The first documented summer climb occurred on August 5, 1902, when Teodor Eichenwald, Ferdynand Rabowski, Jan Bachleda-Tajber, and Wojciech Tylka Suleja reached the summit.

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 Liptov Walls remain closed to tourists, with strict protection measures enforced to preserve the natural mountain environment.

The mountain hosts rare specimens of Saxifraga cotyledon, a plant species found in only selected locations throughout the entire Tatra Mountains.
