Upłazkowa Baszta (approx. 1515 m) is a rocky tower on the right-hand slopes of the Kościeliska Valley in the Western Tatras, a spot that appeals to those seeking a wilder, less-trodden corner of the Tatra landscape. It's a destination for climbers and mountaineers rather than a typical viewpoint for casual hikers.

The tower sits on the ridge descending from Upłazkowa Turnia to Przełęcz za Saturnem, just above the pass. It is separated from the neighbouring Upłazkowy Kopiniak by Przełączka za Upłazkową Basztą and Upłazkowe Wrótka, with a small, unnamed rock tooth standing between them. The south-western face, dropping toward Wąwóz Kraków, is rocky and roughly 100 metres high, with a large chimney-like gully in its upper section leading to the saddle between the tower's two summits. The northern face, descending into Żleb nad Pisaną, is of similar height but grassier. This is rugged, rocky terrain where a hush of true Tatra wilderness lingers in every season.

• The easiest route (grade 0+) follows the upper part of a narrow, steep gully descending from the saddle between the two summits – unmarked, and suited to experienced scramblers with rock terrain skills.

• Several climbing routes have been established on the faces of Upłazkowa Baszta, with difficulty up to VII- on the Tatra scale.
• There is no marked hiking trail to the summit – reaching it requires mountaineering experience.

Upłazkowa Baszta is one of those Tatra corners overshadowed by more famous peaks, yet it offers climbers a genuine challenge and the untamed atmosphere of a wild valley.
