Łysa Skałka, Tatra National Park
Facts and practical information
Łysa Skałka - a steep rock rising to 1129 m above sea level just on the western side of Łysa Polana in the Polish High Tatras, opposite the junction of the Polish Oswald Balzer Road to Morskie Oko with the Slovakian Freedom Road. It is the easternmost elevation of the Polish Tatra Mountains. It is overgrown by a forest with rare tree species in the Tatra Mountains: sycamore, yew and Scots pine.
It is made of Middle Triassic dolomites and was modeled by erosion during the younger Tertiary and Quaternary ages. The pine trees growing on it are a glacial relict from the Holocene period. There are also very rare plant species - black iris and mossy bicolor.
