Babia Góra

Babia Góra is a mountain massif on the border between Poland and Slovakia, in the Western Beskids. The name is also used for its highest summit, Diablak, which rises to 1,725 metres (5,659 ft) above sea level and is the highest peak in this part of the Carpathians. It is a good choice for a mountain outing with wide-ranging views and a proper sense of the borderland landscape.

• The massif itself stretches across the Polish-Slovak border, so a visit here comes with a clear cross-border mountain setting.
• Diablak, the highest point of Babia Góra, is the main summit to look for if you want to stand on the top of this part of the Carpathians.
• As part of the Western Beskids, the area offers classic mountain scenery that suits hiking and longer ridge walks.

For a trip here, it is worth bringing sturdy shoes and checking the weather before you go, as conditions in the mountains can change quickly. Babia Góra is a strong pick for hikers and visitors who want a scenic mountain excursion in a borderland setting.
