The hanging valley Kegelkar ( Polish Dolina pod Kołem , also Dolinka pod Kołem ), formed by glaciers in the Ice Age , is located southwest of the mountain valley Fünfseental , which in turn represents a hanging valley of the Roztokatal , which is a side valley of the Bialkatal , in the Polish High Tatras in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship . It lies below the main ridge of the Tatra Mountains and the peaks Valentinsberg ( Walentkowy Wierch ), Seealmspitze ( Świnica ), Unterer Seealmturm ( Zawratowa Turnia ), Kleiner Gemsenberg ( Mały Kozi Wierch ) and Kegel ( Kołowa Czuba ) and about 100 m above the Five Lakes Valley .
