Dzika Turnia is a mountain summit in the High Tatras reaching 2379 meters with two distinct peaks rising above neighboring valleys. The formation showcases rock features visible from different approaches to the mountain.

The peak was first reached by climbers in 1898 and has been known in mountaineering circles since that time. The naming of the summit came later and established its place in the history of Tatra climbing.

The name comes from Polish climbers who described the rocky appearance of the peak in the early 1900s. This designation remains common among mountaineers and reflects the harsh nature of the place.

The route requires climbing equipment and experience since no marked hiking trails lead to the summit. Visitors should familiarize themselves with local guides and check weather conditions beforehand.

Below the peak lies a mountain lake offering views of surrounding summits and rock formations. This hidden spot is often overlooked by visitors and provides a quiet vantage point over the mountain landscape.
