Tag - Orło
Orło Mountain – a peak with a height of 1120 m a.s.l. in the Żywiec-Kysuce Beskid Mountains located in the Wielka Racza Range. From the north-west through the Orło Pass it borders Mała Racza, from the east through the Śrubita Pass it borders Wielka Czerwenkowa Mountain. To the south-west, a side ridge branches off from it with the peak of Kýčera, which separates the valleys of the streams called Klubinský potok and Veľký potok. The northern slopes descend to the Racza Stream Valley.
The peak is currently forested with a lower montane mixed forest, but in the past a shepherd’s pasture stretched from Przełęcz pod Orłem to the very top.
The name of the peak comes from the Slovak word orljo meaning a cultivated field. From the Slovak side they used to approach high up almost to the very top. On some maps, the peak is described under the incorrect name Orzeł.
The tourist trail bypasses the summit of Orło, traversing it on the northern side.
