A border summit in the Małe Pieniny

Durbaszka (934 m above sea level) lies on the main ridge of the Małe Pieniny, in the Wysoka range, and the Polish–Slovak border runs across its top. It is one of the higher points in this part of the Pieniny, rising above the Grajcarek valley and the village of Jaworki.

The hut and the shepherding tradition

At about 834 m above sea level, on the slope of the mountain, stands the hut known as Schronisko pod Durbaszką. It was built as a model shepherd's hut for grazing sheep but never served that purpose — in the 1980s it was adapted for scouting use. On the surrounding meadows you can still come across flocks tended by shepherds from Podhale.

Trails and views

The blue trail leads to the summit from Droga Pienińska, along the ridge of the Małe Pieniny and over Szafranówka. Alternatively you can walk up from Jaworki or take the lift to Palenica in Szczawnica and continue along the ridge. The summit looks out over the Radziejowa range and the Pieniny proper.
