Turbacz

Turbacz is the highest peak of the Gorce Mountains, a mountain range located in southern Lesser Poland. It lies in the middle of the range, and according to most sources, it is 1310 meters high. The peak itself is surrounded by dense pine forest, which makes it impossible for tourists to admire the view of the area. In the past, however, no trees were present there, and according to the 1832 sources, it was possible to see the city of Kraków with a telescope.
