Łaźne Skały (770 m a.s.l.) is one of the most distinctive summits along the main ridge of the Little Pieniny mountains — a narrow, elongated crest with impressive limestone walls right on the Polish-Slovak border. It is the kind of place that quietly rewards those who seek it out.
The summit forms a long, narrow ridge, undercut on the southern Slovak side and to the east by sheer rock faces rising about 25 m. Built from grey chert and aptychus limestones, the crest is covered mostly with beech trees and shrubs. In spring the rocky ledges come alive with blooming rock alyssum ('Aurinia saxatilis'), one of the most striking sights in the whole Little Pieniny range. Summer wraps the ridge in deep green, while autumn turns the beech forest into a blaze of gold and amber.
How to reach the summitThe rocky walls of Łaźne Skały host several plant species rare in Poland, including globe thistle ('Cirsium eriophorum'), black cotoneaster, and Styrian bluegrass — a genuine treat for botany enthusiasts visiting the peak.
