Marusarzowa Turnia (2,075 m a.s.l.) is a sharp, striking rock tower rising along the Žabí hrebeň ridge in the High Tatras, right on the Polish-Slovak border. Its sheer eastern wall — dropping nearly 30 metres straight down towards the Żabie Stawy Białczańskie valley — makes it one of the most visually arresting features in this part of the mountains.
The peak sits between Marusarzowa Przełączka and Owcza Przełęcz, flanked on the west by a rugged rocky rib with three smaller rock towers, separating the Owczy Żleb and Marusarzowy Żleb gullies. The scenery here is raw and untamed — grey granite slabs, steep couloirs and a sense of true alpine wilderness. In summer the rock is at its most accessible; in autumn the surroundings glow with colour; in winter and spring, snow and ice dominate entirely.
How to reach the summitThe peak was named in 1954 in honour of Jędrzej Marusarz — a legendary Tatra highlander, mountain guide and rescuer — who led the very first recorded ascent on 26 July 1905.
