Kozi Grzbiet is a wild, rarely visited ridge in the Czerwone Wierchy group of the Polish Western Tatras, offering sweeping views and a genuine sense of remoteness. It branches off from Krzesanica towards the northwest, separating two quiet valleys below: Dolina Mułowa and Dolina Litworowa.
The upper part of the ridge is fairly wide and covered with short alpine grass, with rocky sections appearing here and there. Further down it narrows and steepens considerably. Near its lower end lies a distinctive, almost flat meadow known as Machajówka. Beyond it, the ridge continues as Mułowy Grzbiet, ending abruptly at the near-vertical cliff called Ratusz Mułowy, which drops into Wielka Świstówka. The eastern slopes of this section are among the steepest in the area, and in winter they form an impressive ice cascade. In summer, sparse grass and rocky outcrops give the whole ridge a raw, untamed Tatra character.
How to reach the summitThe name is sometimes mistakenly altered to 'Kozi Grzybek', a corrupted local variant. It is also one of the few places in Poland where the rare milk-vetch species traganek wytrzymały grows, found almost exclusively in the Tatras.
