Poľská Tomanová

Poľská Tomanová is a mountain summit along the Slovakia-Poland border in the Western Tatras, standing at 1977 meters. The slopes feature grassy terrain with multiple avalanche channels carved into the northern face.

The first ascent took place in 1838 when geologist Ludwik Zejszner reached the summit, marking an important step in exploring the Western Tatras. This early climb contributed to the scientific mapping of the mountain range.

The name reflects the shared border region between two countries and appears in local records using both Slovak and Polish versions. The peak holds connecting significance for people on both sides of the frontier.

Public access to the summit is not permitted, and no marked hiking trails lead to the top due to environmental protection measures. Visitors should focus instead on the accessible trails in the surrounding Tatras.

Waters from the northern slopes flow into the Tomanova valley and then connect with the Čierny Dunajec river through a network of mountain streams. This water system naturally links the two countries across the border.
