Marszałek (829 m a.s.l.) is a quiet, rewarding summit in the Lubań Range of the Gorce Mountains in southern Poland. It sits along the famous red-marked Main Beskid Trail and offers open meadow views without the crowds you'd find on higher peaks nearby. A perfect stop for hikers looking for genuine mountain atmosphere with a manageable ascent.
The peak is partly forested, but its highlight is the wide Klocówki meadow on the southern slope, where the landscape opens up beautifully. From here you can enjoy a sweeping panorama of the Pieniny Mountains, the Tylmanowa Gorge, and the Radziejowa Range with its peaks Błyszcz and Dzwonkówka. The meadow is lovely in every season — lush green in summer, golden in autumn. Note that a power line crosses the meadow just below the summit, which slightly affects the scenery.
How to reach the summitFor decades, a tall wooden triangulation tower stood on Marszałek's summit — locals called it the 'patria' or 'patryja', from the Polish word for 'to look'. It survived until the 1970s and was a beloved landmark in this part of the Gorce.
