Explore Place
Barwinkowa Góra (721 m above sea level), also known as Barwinkowa, is a peak in the main ridge of the Spiš Pieniny mountains, located east of the Przesła pass. It is covered in forest, but open areas can be found on parts of the southern slopes and at the summit, offering views of the Tatra Mountains and the Zamagurze region. The mountain’s name comes from the common periwinkle plant, which grows abundantly here.
Hiking trail
The hiking trail does not lead directly to the top of Barwinkowa Mountain, but rather along its northern slopes. On the eastern side of the peak, there is a shallow pass (691 m) where various forest paths intersect.
Other peaks
The peak of Ślipce (Ślepcza) descends towards the northern slope of Barwinkowa Góra, separated from the main peak by a wide ridge.
Botanical name
The periwinkle plant, after which the mountain was named, grows here in abundance, which is unusual for other parts of the Pieniny Mountains.
