Končistá / Kończysty Wierch, Tatra National Park
Facts and practical information
Kończysty Wierch or Kończysta nad Jarząbczą - peak with a height of 2002 m in the Western Tatras, lying in the main ridge of the Tatras, between Starorobociański Wierch, separated from it by Starorobociańska Przełęcz, and Jarząbczym Wierch, from which it is separated by Jarząbcza Przełęcz. Through these peaks and passes there runs the Polish-Slovakian border. Mt Kończysty Wierch is the keystone peak - in north direction runs from it north ridge of Mt Kończystego Wierch, in which the Czubika peak and Trzydniowiański Wierch are distinguished. This ridge separates from each other valleys: Starorobociańska and Jarząbcza. From the southern side Kończysty Wierch rises over Zadnią Raczkowa Valley. Beside these three ridge descend from the Kończysty Wierch two more perches: in the north-west direction to the Jarząbcza Valley Jarząbczy Kopieniec, in the north-east to the Starorobociańska Valley nameless perch forming the southern limit of the Dudowa Kotlina.
It is made of crystalline rocks, mainly rohatian granodiorite. The domed top is covered with low grass with rush. From the northeast its slopes, adjacent to the slopes of Czubik, are undercut by a small glacial basin called Dudowa Kotlina, located in the upper part of the Starorobocinska Valley. There are several small Dudowe Stawki in it. The ridge between Mt Kończysty Wierch and Starorobociański Wierch is split in a characteristic way, there is a longitudinal ridge ditch. The name of the peak appears already on maps from 1796 as Koncisti.
The peak may be confused with the peak in the High Tatras - Kończula - as their Slovak names are identical.
