Żabi Szczyt Wyżni, Border summit in High Tatras, Slovakia and Poland.
Żabi Szczyt Wyżni is a granite peak located on the border between Slovakia and Poland in the High Tatras mountain range. The summit stands at 2,263 meters and forms part of the dramatic alpine landscape that characterizes this region.
Early mountaineers established several climbing routes to the summit in the early 20th century, advancing alpinism in this border region. These routes developed on both the Polish and Slovak sides, shaped by local climbing traditions.
The name comes from the Polish and Slovak word for frog, inspired by how the peak looks when seen from certain angles in the valleys below. This naming tradition shows how local communities connect mountain shapes to creatures and natural forms.
Reaching the summit requires advanced climbing skills and proper mountaineering equipment for safety. Tours with experienced guides are available from both the Polish and Slovak sides, making the climb more manageable for serious mountaineers.
The peak displays different granite formations on its northern and southern faces, creating distinct climbing experiences for mountaineers approaching from either country. These geological contrasts affect both the difficulty and the character of each climbing route.
