Location and surroundings

The summit is above the Owcza Przełęcz pass , which allows an easy transition between the two valleys and has been used by shepherds and shepherds for centuries.
etymology
The name Owcze Turniczki can be translated as sheep towers or shepherd towers . The name comes from the fact that there was a sheep pasture on the slopes of the summit and the shepherds drove the sheep from one valley to the other over the nearby mountain pass.
