Grześ, Summit in Western Tatras, Slovakia.
Grześ is a mountain peak in the Western Tatras reaching 1,653 meters in elevation and forms part of the main ridge. The summit sits within a larger massif that connects multiple valleys through its trails and passes.
Grześ has served for centuries as a natural boundary marker between Slovakia and Poland. The peak shaped the routes that inhabitants and travelers used when crossing the mountains.
The name Grześ reflects the multilingual heritage of this border region, known as Lúčna in Slovak. This linguistic variety shows how different cultures have shaped the mountain area over time.
Marked hiking trails to Grześ start from Vitanová village and lead directly to the summit. The paths are clearly marked and pass through well-established routes connecting the surrounding valleys.
From the summit, you can see three distinct valleys with their own geological features. This view reveals how varied the mountain landscape appears across relatively short distances.
