Potrójna, Mountain summit in Beskid Mały range, Poland.
Potrójna is a forested summit of 847 m in the main ridge of the Łamana Skała range in the Beskid Mały, between Leskowiec (918 m) and the Beskidek pass (799 m). It is a barely prominent top on a long, even ridge; its south-eastern slopes fall to the Sikorówka valley in Targoszów, and to the north-west a short Klimaski ridge separates the Ryta and Klimaska streams in Rzyki.
The name Potrójna comes from the settlement of Potrójna in Rzyki, on the slopes below the ridge. The summit lies on the main ridge of the Pasmo Łamanej Skały between Leskowiec and the Beskidek pass, and the long ridge section from Leskowiec to Na Beskidzie is very even, making the peak itself barely distinct. Three marked routes cross it, two PTTK trails and the Papal Trail.
The name Potrójna comes from the Potrójna settlement in Rzyki, below the mountain, not from the summit itself. The peak is crossed by the Mały Szlak Beskidzki and the Szlak Papieski, a papal trail, alongside a PTTK route. On the Geoportal topographic map the name Potrójna Góra covers the whole ridge from Leskowiec to Na Beskidzie.
Potrójna lies on the main ridge of the Łamana Skała range between Leskowiec (918 m) and the Beskidek pass (799 m), and three marked trails cross it: the Mały Szlak Beskidzki and a PTTK route, plus the Papal Trail. The PTTK route from Przydawki through Przełęcz pod Mladą Horą and Smrekowica to Leskowiec takes about 3:30 h one way and 3 h back. The summit is entirely forested, so there are no views from the top itself.
Potrójna is a barely distinct, fully forested crest, so it offers no panorama at all. Its name comes from the Potrójna settlement in Rzyki, not from any triple summit. The Papal Trail (Szlak Papieski) is one of the three marked routes crossing it, alongside two PTTK trails.
