Koryciańska Czuba (1,161 m a.s.l.) is a forested sub-alpine peak in the long northern ridge of Wołowiec in the Western Tatras — a quiet, hidden summit far from the busy tourist trails. What makes it remarkable is that the Polish–Slovak border and the Great European Watershed between the Baltic and Black Seas both pass right through its wooded top.

The summit is completely covered in montane forest, so don't expect sweeping panoramas — the appeal here is the deep, undisturbed woodland atmosphere. Situated between Furkaska (1,491 m) and Mała Furkaska (1,133 m), a winding ridge extends eastward from the peak, separating two side valleys of the Chochołowska Valley: Wielkie Koryciska to the south and Małe Koryciska to the north. On the Slovak side, one branch of the Bratraniec gully descends toward the Quiet Orava Valley (Dolina Cicha Orawska). Whether you explore the surrounding valleys in the golden colours of autumn or the fresh stillness of spring, this corner of the Tatras rewards those who appreciate solitude over summit glory.

• Koryciańska Czuba lies within the strictly protected Koryciska reserve of the Tatra National Park — no tourist trails lead to the summit, meaning there is no official public access.

• The peak is located in a strictly protected zone of Tatra National Park — off-trail hiking is prohibited.
• On the eastern slopes at 1,090 m a.s.l. lies the small cave 'Schron w Wielkich Koryciskach' with passages totalling 7.5 m in length.
• The Polish–Slovak state border and the European Baltic–Black Sea watershed line both cross the summit.

Standing on this unassuming wooded hilltop, you are literally balanced on the spine of Europe — rainwater falling just metres apart will eventually reach two different seas, hundreds of kilometres away.
