People who have ever been to the Pieniny Mountains may associate Nowa Gora from one of their hikes without even knowing its name. As the second highest peak in the Pieniny Proper, it is visible from peaks such as Trzy Korony or Czoło. Apart from that, you can pass it by following the blue trail between Trzy Kopce Pass and Szopka Pass. We can also see it from some sections of the Szopczański Gorge. Unfortunately, Nowa Góra itself is not accessible to tourists, so we can only admire it from afar.
Height records
Nowa Góra is the second highest peak in the Pieniny Właściwe and the highest in the Pieniny Czorsztyńskie.
Name
Before the peak was called "New Mountain" from 1822, it was named "Black Mountain"
Zakoczy Glade
The blue hiking trail Chocho - Szopka Pass (the same as the one mentioned above) leads along the edge of the Zakoczył glade. This clearing is sometimes called "Czerniawa".
Appearance
The New Mountain is shaped like a sharp cone with a kinked ridge, emphasising southwards. Most of its surface is covered by forest.
