Obycz – a peak at 788 meters a.s.l. in the western part of the Low Beskid Mountains, on the Polish-Slovak border. It is located in the Hańczowa Mountains, within the Kozie Żebro, Jaworzynka and Obycz range. To the northeast, it borders Jaworzyna Konieczniańska through the Regetowska Pass. To the northwest, it borders Jaworzynka. The western slopes descend to the Rosucká Voda stream in Slovakia, while the southern slopes are cut by the valley of a seasonal stream, a left-bank tributary of the Rosucká Voda stream.
The peak is completely covered with forest, dominated by Carpathian beech forest. On the northern slopes, there is a mixed forest with abundant larch and fir.
The peak is crossed by the blue-marked Carpathian Trail Przylasek – Grybów and the red-marked Slovak trail Východokarpatská magistrála Obručné – Nova Sedlica.
