Mały Kościelec, Tatra National Park

Mały Kościelec - a multi-topped ridge being the end of the Kościelców Ridge, which at the height of Zawratowa Turnia deviates in the northern direction from the main ridge of the High Tatras and separates the Czarna Gąsienicowa Valley from the Dolina Zielonej Gąsienicowa. Between Maly Kościelec and Kościelec is located Karb Pass. Small Kościelec has several unproved peaks, in order from south to north: 1859 m, 1863 m, 1866 m, 1863 m, 1849 m, 1840 m, 1815 m, 1792 m, 1767 m. Massif of Mt Mały Kościelec grows from the north into the area of Hala Gąsienicowa.

Small Kościelec is a typical inter valley perch, which during the glaciation of the Tatras ice did not manage to destroy. On both sides of the mountain glaciers formed, which lower merged with each other. It is mostly covered with dwarf pine. At the foot of its eastern slopes is Kamień Karłowicza and Black Pond Gąsienicowy, while at the foot of the western slopes is Dwoisty Gąsienicowy Pond and a large flat area called Roztoka Stawiańska.

On the rocky parts of Maly Kościelec, mountaineers often practice climbing.
