Czerwone Wierchy (Slovak: Červené vrchy, also known as Red Peaks) are a group of four peaks located on the main ridge of the Western Tatras on the border between Poland and Slovakia.[1] Their name derives from the rush Juncus trifidus, in which the peaks are covered and whose blades turn red in autumn.[2]

Czerwone Wierchy are made up of the following summits (west to east):[3][4]

They feature numerous caves, including the Jaskinia Wielka Śnieżna.[citation needed][4]
