Skrajny Wołoszyn (2090 m a.s.l.) is the easternmost of the four summits that make up the Wołoszyn massif in the High Tatras. Its dramatic ridge, separating the Roztoka Valley from the Waksmundzka Valley, is one of those sights that stops you in your tracks — even if reaching the top is no longer on the cards.
The peak sits between the Niżnia Wołoszyńska Pass to the west and a shallow, unnamed col to the east, where it borders the Wierch nad Zagonnym Żlebem. The steep slopes dropping toward the Roztoka Valley are carved by impressive gullies — Skalnisty Żleb, Ciemnisty Żleb and Gaisty Żleb — separated by an area known as Nowe Spalenisko. The rocky walls above these gullies are called Półturnie. On the Waksmundzka Valley side the terrain softens, opening onto the Pośrednia Waksmundzka Równica plateau, dotted with small mountain pools known as Waksmundzkie Oka.
How to reach the summitThe peak was once known as 'Zadni Garb' (Rear Hump), a name coined by Father Walenty Gadowski, the pioneer who laid out the legendary Eagles' Path in the early 20th century — he thought the whole Wołoszyn ridge looked just like a two-humped camel.
