Siodłowa Turnia, Tatra National Park

Siodłowa Turnia is a crag rising in the upper part of the Mała Łąka Valley in the West Tatra Mountains, south of Mały Giewont. It is separated from him by the Saddle Pass. Forms a short, narrow ridge, in which the peak stands out, rising to a height of 1647 m above sea level. It descends by a steep cliff about 150 m to the Głaziye Żleb. Saddleback Turnia with the Small Giewont and the Great Turnia creates a panorama of peaks rising over the Great Glade in the Valley of the Small Meadow.

Formerly it was called Turnia Siadłą or Turnia Spiczastą. It is built of white limestone from the Lower Cretaceous period. In its northern slopes there are several caves. The most famous are Nysa in the Saddleback Turnia and the Sleeping Knights Cave Higher and Sleeping Knights Cave, located in the Sleeping Knights Gully. The names of the caves are connected with the legend of knights sleeping in the Tatra Mountains, who are supposed to wake up when Poland needs them.
