Description

At 2,068 meters above sea level, Mnich is a mountain in Poland that belongs to the Tatra Mountains.

Mnich (which means “The Monk” in Polish) is one of the best-known peaks in the Polish High Tatras, standing at 2,068 m (6,785 ft). It stands proudly above the crystal-clear waters of Morskie Oko – one of the most popular and scenic spots in the region. Even though it’s close to busy hiking trails, climbing Mnich feels like a real alpine adventure, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views.

The climb has a high-mountain character, with sections of exposed terrain that require rope protection. The route includes easy rock climbing and ends with a guided rope descent (abseil) from the summit.

Along the way, you'll get a hands-on introduction to the basics of rock climbing and learn how to use standard climbing equipment under the guidance of a professional. No previous experience is required – just a good level of fitness and a sense of adventure!

Mnich offers the perfect balance of challenge, beauty, and excitement – all under the watchful eye of a certified mountain guide.

Book your climb today with us and experience the magic of the mountains from a whole new perspective!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
