Kurasówka Mountain
Kurasówka Mountain (Kuraszowski Wierch) – a peak with a height of 1,037 meters above sea level in the Magura Spiska Mountains. It is located on a ridge extending north from Kopylec (Holowiec) Peak and descending into the Łapszanka Stream valley in the village of Łapsze Wyżne. To the south, it borders Dudasowski Wierch and to the north Gacków Wierch. The western slopes gently descend to the Łapszanka Stream, while the eastern slopes drop steeply to the Kotarne Stream.
Kurasówka is composed of Podhale flysch, which regionally belongs to the Central Western Carpathians (as opposed to the Beskid Mountains, which belong to the Outer Carpathians). These rocks were formed in the Cenozoic era (more precisely, in the Paleogene) as sediments of a former sea.
The summit is forested by lower montane forest, dominated by artificially planted spruce. There is a small chapel attached to a tree.
There is no hiking trail leading to the summit; a road marked on the map passes nearby.
