Łysina is one of the most dramatic peaks in the Pieniny range — a rocky summit where near-vertical limestone walls plunge straight down to the Dunajec River. The river curves around the mountain on three sides here, forming the largest meander in the entire Dunajec Gorge. Seeing it from a raft on the water is truly breathtaking.
The southeastern face of Łysina is a raw, almost vertical cliff, while the rest of the summit is cloaked in dense forest. The southwestern slopes are home to a remarkable fir forest, with ancient trees over 150 years old that impress with their scale and quiet grandeur. In spring and autumn, the forest colours set against grey limestone create an unforgettable atmosphere. Together with the neighbouring Klejowa Góra, Łysina forms a rocky ridge known as the 'Łysina group', while the rock formations of Facimiech, Ostra Skała and Grabczychy add a wild, untamed character to the area.
How to reach the summitOn the steep limestone southeastern wall of Łysina grows savin juniper — one of the last known sites for this plant in all of Poland. A true botanical treasure hidden on the inaccessible crags of the Pieniny.
