Wysoki Dział (731 m a.s.l.) is a quiet, forest-cloaked summit in the Pieniny Mountains of southern Poland — a place where nature is firmly in charge and the crowds stay away. It sits within the Pieniny National Park, making it one of those rare spots you can appreciate from nearby trails without ever setting foot on the top itself.
The peak rises along a lateral ridge branching northeast from the western top of Czoło, and acts as a junction point where the Pieniniki ridge splits off toward Bajków Groń (716 m). Its northwestern slopes, dropping into the valley of Potok pod Wysoki Dział, are the steepest, while the northeastern and southeastern flanks are drained by the Łanny and Pieniński Potok streams respectively. Dense forest covers the summit area, but lower down on the northward ridge opens the wide meadow of Wielkie Załonie — a lovely open space in an otherwise wooded landscape. Between Wysoki Dział and Bajków Groń lies the clearing of Wymiarki, a peaceful glade perfect for a break.
How to reach the areaThe Pieniny National Park is one of the smallest yet most botanically rich national parks in Poland, protecting a landscape of dramatic limestone ridges and rare plant species found nowhere else in the country.
