Majerz (689 m a.s.l.) is the kind of summit that rewards you without asking too much in return. A broad, grassy alpine meadow crowns the top, and with no forest to block the view, the Pieniny landscape opens up all around you.
The peak sits in the western part of the Czorsztyn Pieniny range, along the main Pieniny ridge between the Snozka Zamecka pass and the Osice pass. The gently rolling, meadow-covered summit — known as the 'Majerz' alpine pasture — is lush green in summer and takes on a wilder, more dramatic character in early spring and autumn. The south-western slopes drop toward the Harczygrund valley, while the north-eastern slopes descend to the Krośnica stream valley. Almost the entire massif lies within the Pieniny National Park, ensuring a peaceful, well-preserved environment.
How to reach the summitThe name has roots going back at least to the 16th century — documents from 1598 and 1632 mention a farmstead here, and the word 'majerz' derives from the German 'Maierhof'. In the Spiš region, a 'majer' was the herdsman responsible for cattle during the grazing season, as distinct from a 'baca' who looked after sheep.
