Mylna Kopa is a rocky peak tucked into the jagged Kościelec Ridge in the Western Tatras — a spot that appeals far more to ridge-climbing enthusiasts than to casual hikers. It's a place valued by those who love the more demanding, exposed sections of Tatra ridgelines.

Rising to 2159 m, the summit sits wedged between Pośrednie Mylne Wrótka and Wyżnie Mylne Wrótka, right next to Zadni Kościelec. Both its eastern and western flanks drop away in steep rock walls, giving the place a raw, wild character typical of the most inaccessible corners of the Western Tatras. Surrounded by jagged rock outcrops and narrow saddles, this is terrain that demands careful footing and mountaineering experience rather than a leisurely stroll.

• Mylna Kopa has no marked hiking trail — access is via the ridge and saddles as part of more demanding climbing traverses that require prior experience.
• The approach is typically made as part of the Kościelec – Mylna Przełęcz ridge traverse, following the route of the historic first ascent.

• This terrain requires climbing skills and good route-finding ability — there is no classic trail for casual hikers.
• The first ascent was made by Zygmunt Klemensiewicz and Roman Kordys on 11 July 1906.

It was on this very traverse that climbers first broke away from the long-standing rule of climbing only with a mountain guide — a moment now remembered as a milestone in Polish mountaineering history.
