Malolučniak, Mountain summit in Western Tatras, Poland and Slovakia
Malolučniak is a mountain peak in the Western Tatras straddling the border between Poland and Slovakia. The summit rises to 2105 meters and combines rocky sections with grassy slopes along the Czerwone Wierchy ridge.
The peak has served as a natural border marker between Poland and Slovakia for centuries. Its location on the frontier has shaped regional development and separated the two neighboring nations.
Local mountain guides share traditional stories about shepherds who once grazed their flocks on the grassy slopes during summer months in past generations.
From the Polish side, a popular route climbs from the Kuznice Pass toward the summit. Hikers should prepare for changeable mountain weather and bring proper gear for steep sections.
In autumn, the surrounding grasses turn red, creating a natural display that inspired the Czerwone Wierchy (Red Peaks) name for the entire range. This seasonal shift makes fall an especially rewarding time to visit the area.
