Suchy Wierch, Tatra National Park

Suchy Wierch is a coniferous peak in the Polish Western Tatras, rising in the ridge separating the Strążyska Valley to the west from the Białe Valley to the east. In this ridge is located between the Niżnią Sucha Przełęcz and Czerwona Przełęcz. In its eastern slopes there are no ridges or perches but in the western direction from its top there is the Horse Ridge separating the Deer Gulch from the Sarni Gulch.

The top parts are an unforested, sometimes covered with dwarf pine, jagged rock ridge. Southwards it descends steeply to the ridge with rocky crags called Klasztories. The ridge running from the top north toward the Red Pass is mostly wide and forested. There are no hiking trails leading to Suchy Wierch, it is also not located in the area available for mountaineering. There are no paths in the whole massif, and the passage is difficult because of the dense forests, windbreaks, lush dwarf pine, and unexpectedly occurring rocky difficulties. Rare plant communities are still preserved in some parts of the massif. Very long ago there was a red-marked trail from Suchy Wierch to Wielka Rówień, but there is no trace of it anymore.

From rare plant species in Poland, the occurrence of mountain ash and small-flowered orchid was confirmed on Suchy Wierch.
