Zameczki is a group of rocky towers tucked away in the Biały Valley, part of the Western Tatras — a place that few hikers ever hear about. It's ideal for those who want to escape the crowds and explore a quieter corner of the Tatras.
The ridge holding Zameczki branches off from the Długi Giewont ridge and descends north into the Biały Valley, splitting its upper section into two branches. The lower slopes are covered in forest, while the towers themselves are made of brittle carbonate rock reaching up to 30 meters in height. The summits and numerous ledges are overgrown with dwarf mountain pine, giving the area a wild, untamed feel. The eastern slopes drop into Potargany Żleb, the western ones into Żleb pod Wrótka. Zameczki has never attracted climbers, so it has retained a truly untouched, secluded character.

Practical information
Though Zameczki rarely appears in guidebooks as a top attraction, its raw character and rock window make it a rewarding find for those who love exploring the lesser-known corners of the Tatras.
