Tag - Iwaniacka Pass
Iwaniacka Pass – a pass with a height of 1461 m a.s.l. in the Western Tatra Mountains separating Kominiarski Wierch (1829 m a.s.l.) and Suchy Wierch Ornaczański (1835 m a.s.l.). The eastern slopes of the pass descend to the Iwanowski Stream Valley and the western slopes to the Iwaniacka Valley.
It is a deep and extensive pass made of soft shales and dolomites from the Lower Triassic. It is the border between the Ornak ridge made of crystalline rocks and the limestone massif of Kominiarski Wierch.
On the pass there is a small glade currently overgrown with forest. In the past, it offered extensive views of the Tomanowa Valley, Ciemniak, Smreczyński Wierch, Kamienista and the very close southern slopes of Kominiarski Wierch.
A yellow tourist trail leads through the pass, connecting the Chochołowska Valley and the Kościeliska Valley, and the green trail to Ornak starts here and continues to Gaborowa Przełęcz Wyżnia, from which you can go to Bystra or Starorobociański Wierch. In the past, there was a very popular trail to Kominiarski Wierch, but it was closed in 1987 due to the need to protect golden eagle nests.
