Opalony Wierch, Mountain summit in Tatra National Park, Poland

Opalony Wierch rises to 2115 meters with two distinct peaks, surrounded by steep slopes and numerous gullies in the High Tatras mountain range.

The mountain recorded its first documented winter ascent on April 17, 1911, when mountaineers Henryk Bednarski and L. Michalski reached the summit during their Miedziane ridge expedition.

The mountain stands within a protected natural reserve between Morskie Oko lake and the Valley of Five Polish Lakes, representing Polish mountaineering heritage.

Access to Opalony Wierch begins at Palenica Białczańska parking area, with the nearest mountain shelters located at Morskie Oko and Stara Roztoka.

The Żleb Żandarmerii, a notable gully on Opalony Wierch's slopes, experiences frequent avalanches during winter months, creating natural geological formations.

Elevation above the sea: 2,115 m
