Svinica

Mount Svinica is located in the Tatra ranges at an elevation of 7.549 feet. In Poland, it's also known as Mount Swinica, which means "pig" or "pork." The name comes from the peak's appearance, which resembles a pig silhouette, and was first used in the eleventh century. According to another theory, the summit was named because it was difficult to access. Despite the fact that the peak is on the border between Poland and Slovakia, all recognized paths are on the Polish side.

There are some unmarked routes on the Slovak side, and just a few people use them. Climbing routes on the mountain are only open to members of climbing clubs. The location attracts a large number of visitors in the summer because the weather is ideal for trekking. Mount Svinica is used for training Polish mountaineers and rescuers from Tatrzaskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe (Tatrzaskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe) in addition to enjoyment.
