The Hińczowa Turnia ( Czech / Slovak Hincova veža , German: Hinzenseeturm) is a mountain in the High Tatras with a height of 2377  m npm on the Polish - Slovak border. It is the sixth highest mountain in Poland.

Location and surroundings

Below the summit are the Fish Lake Valley with the lake Czarny Staw pod Rysami in the north (Poland) and the Mengsdorfer valley in the south (Slovakia).

The Hinzenseeturm is located in the main ridge of the Tatras , in the midst of the ox back . Neighboring peaks are the Ochsenrückenturm ( Wołowa Turnia ), from which it is separated by the Grosse Ochsenrückenscharte ( Wielka Wołowa Szczerbina ) pass , and the Eastern Mengsdorf Peak, separated from it by the Mengsdorfer Scharte .

etymology

The name Hinzenseeturm comes from the fact that the Dolina Hińczowa (German: Hinzenseekessel) valley with the lake of the same name is not far from the mountain .

tourism

The Hinzenseeturm is not on any marked hiking trail. However, it is accessible to climbers with a permit from the administration of one of the national parks . The shelters Schronisko PTTK nad Morskim Okiem and Schronisko PTTK w Dolinie Roztoki are suitable starting points for an ascent .
