Czerwone Wierchy (Slovak: Červené vrchy, also known as Red Peaks) are a group of four grassy and domed peaks located on the main ridge of the Western Tatras on the border between Poland and Slovakia.[2] [3] Their name derives from the rush Juncus trifidus, in which the peaks are covered and whose blades turn red in autumn.[3]
Czerwone Wierchy are made up of the following summits (west to east):[4] [5]
- Ciemniak / Temniak (2096 m)
- Krzesanica / Kresanica (2122 m)
- Małołączniak / Malolúčniak (2096 m)
- Kopa Kondracka / Kondratova kopa (2005 m)
They mostly consist of sedimentary rocks, such as limestone or dolomite,[5] however their summits are covered in granite and other crystalline rocks.[3]
The massif features numerous limestone caves, including the Jaskinia Wielka Śnieżna, the longest and deepest cave in Poland.[6]
