It is one of the highest peaks in the Carpathian Mountains, located on the border between Poland and Slovakia. It stands at an elevation of 1725 meters (5659 feet).
After a long hike and good meal, we witnessed this amazing sunset on a way to our place. A great dessert, huh? 😅

I grew up in the Carpathian mountains in central Slovakia.
Great Fatra and the Low Tatras are places where you can walk for days along mountain ridges, surrounded by forests, bears, wolves and lynx.

Great Fatra and the Low Tatras: The Wild Mountain Heart of Slovakia | Richard Golian

Great Fatra and the Low Tatras form the mountain heart of Slovakia. Wild nature, bears, long ridge hikes and the Jasná ski resort in one region.

Trip to #Transylvania a few years ago.
Ate lots of garlic for obvious reasons!

A broken, dead tree trunk standing in the forest just below the summit of Wielka Rycerzowa mountain in Żywiec Beskids, set in the wintry landscape. Seen on a snowy, frosty, foggy day.

How old do herbs live? https://plantlifebelowground.wordpress.com/2026/01/21/how-old-do-herbs-live/

"The chances of discovering a really old clonal #plant are not great, most of our ecosystems are young and disturbed by humans, where it is difficult to find Methuselahs among #plants. The oldest plants whose age has been determined by modern methods are an endemic Romanian hawkweed-like herb growing on the ridges of the #Carpathians (Andryala laevitomentosa, 22–109 thousand years old) or aspen stands in #Nevada (16–81 thousand years old)."

Here is a quick land-cover breakdown for the Carpathian National Nature Park (Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine), based on Copernicus Global Land Service remote-sensing data.

The results show that closed evergreen needle-leaf forest dominates the territory (almost 60%), followed by mixed and deciduous forests. Urban areas, shrubs, and agricultural lands occupy only a tiny fraction of the park.

This is part of my long-term project of analysing protected areas using open satellite datasets and reproducible geospatial workflows.
