Tag - Góra Pięciu Kopców

Góra Pięciu Kopców (Five Mounds Mountain) – a lower peak on the northern side of Pilsko, 1534 m a.a.l., in the Żywiec-Orawa Beskid Mountains. It forms a vast summit platform with a view of the Silesian Beskid Mountains, the Mały Beskid Mountains and the Żywiec-Orawa Beskid Mountains.

On the western side, at an altitude of 1532 m a.s.l., there is the Studnia spring (Slovak: Studnička). It is the second highest spring in the Beskids (only the spring on Babia Góra is higher).

After World War II, it was the highest point that tourists from Poland could enter. During the Polish People’s Republic, entering Pilsko was prohibited and was severely punished as crossing the state border. In the 1990s, a tourist border crossing was established here, which was closed in 2007 after Poland and Slovakia joined the Schengen Area.
