Dziurawa Czuba

Dziurawa Czuba is a mountain peak standing at 2,155 meters (7,070 feet) in the High Tatras, characterized by steep rocky slopes and exposed rock faces. Access to the summit follows established trails that connect to wider hiking networks in the range.

Climbers first established systematic routes to this peak during the 19th century when mountaineering was developing as an activity in the High Tatras. Multiple approaches to the summit developed over time as the sport grew in popularity.

The name Dziurawa Czuba reflects the layered cultural history of this border region, blending Polish and Slovak mountain traditions. Climbers from both communities have long regarded this peak as part of their shared alpine heritage.

Reaching the summit requires solid climbing experience and specialized gear, as several sections involve exposed rock passages. Most climbers attempt this peak during warmer months when conditions are more manageable, while winter and early spring present considerable hazards.

The peak's name comes from natural holes and cavities visible in its rock formations that are apparent from a distance. These features, called 'Dziurawa' meaning perforated or holey, noticeably shape the mountain's appearance when viewed from afar.
