Tag - Biała Skała (Low Beskid Mountains)

Biała Skała – a peak with a height of 921 m a.s.l. in the Low Beskid Mountains in Poland. The third highest peak of this mountain range. It is located in the Ostry Wierch and Biała Skała range in the so-called Hańczowa Mountains. From the north-west it borders an unnamed peak with a height of 903 m a.s.l., from the south-east it borders Ostry Wierch (930 m a.s.l.). The north-eastern slopes descend steeply to the Ropska Woda stream, and the south-western slopes descend steeply to the Biała River.

Biała Skała is made of Carpathian flysch. These are alternating beds of conglomerates, sandstones and shales. Their formation is associated with the deposition of soils in intra-mountain water reservoirs, originating from the erosion of older mountains.

The summit and steep slopes are covered with forest, mostly the Carpathian beech forest characteristic of this region. In the lower parts there are fir, spruce and even pine.

The yellow Ropki – Ostry Wierch hiking trail runs through the summit.
