About Świnica

Świnica is a mountain. Location: Zakopane, Tatra County. Elevation: 2,301 m.

From Wikipedia

Świnica (Polish) or Svinica (Slovak) is a mountain in the main ridge of the High Tatras, on the Polish-Slovak border. The main peak is at 2,302 m AMSL. A marked trail leads through the summit. The Polish name Świnica (derivative form of a pig or swine) was given to this summit in the mid 19th century. It probably refers to the resemblance of the peak to silhouette of a swine. Another etymology is that the summit was dangerous and difficult to reach.
