Długi Upłaz, Tatra National Park

Długi Upłaz - a section of the northern ridge of Volowiec between Rakoń and Łuczniańska Przełęcz in the West Tatra Mountains. The Polish-Slovakian border runs along this ridge. The western slopes of the Dlugie Uplaz fall to the Slovakian Zadni Patana Valley. The Dlugie Uplaz ridge is about 2 km long, flat and rounded. Marked in it only two little distinctive hills with a height of 1785 and 1632 m and cut into it upper end of Litworowy Żleb. Highlanders called the Long Upłaz the eastern slopes descending to the Chochołowska Valley Higher, which is the upper part of the Chochołowska Valley.

Długi Upłaz is built of metamorphic rocks belonging to the crystalline core of the Tatra Mountains. These are gneisses, migmatites, amphibolites, mylonites and quartzites. It is grassy and overgrown with clumps of dwarf pine, in some places protruding quartzite rocks. Formerly it was a pastoral area of Hala Chochołowska.

From the tourist path, which leads along the uncovered part of the ridge, there are wide views of the peaks and valleys of the Western Tatras. In the south there are the Rohache Mountains, which look more like the peaks of the High Tatras than the Western Tatras, the pyramid of Starorobotenskie Wierch and the postglacial cauldron of the Chocholowska Valley higher. In autumn the slopes are colored in almost all colors; dark red clumps of blueberries, yellow twins of dog grass, purple-blooming heather and dark green clumps of dwarf mountain ash with protruding white crags of Bobrowiec.
