Cubryńska Kopka is a small but distinctive rocky knob within the Cubryna massif, known mainly among climbers exploring this part of the Polish Tatras. It's a spot for those seeking something beyond the crowded tourist trails — a raw, rocky corner with a wild character.
The knob rises on the northern ridge of Cubryna, between the Great Cubryna Gallery (Wielka Galeria Cubryńska) and the Przełączka za Turnią Zwornikową saddle. From its summit, a prominent rocky ridge runs northeast — gentle in its upper section, but dropping in its lower part as a vertical wall straight down into the Cubryński Gully (Cubryński Żleb). This wall features a large overhang, clearly visible from below and serving as a landmark for climbers. On the southwestern side lies the Cubryńska Szczerbinka notch, separating the knob from the main ridge of Cubryna. This is rugged, demanding terrain, accessible essentially only to those with climbing experience.
How to reach the summitThe name of this knob is relatively young — it was popularized by the renowned Tatra expert Władysław Cywiński in his multi-volume guidebook, giving the place an extra sense of being a quiet, lesser-known corner of the Tatras.
