High Giewoncka Baszta – one of the crags in Mały Giewont in the Western Tatras. Like the entire massif of Mały Giewont, it is built of sedimentary rocks – limestone and dolomite. It is located between the Extreme Giewoncki Karbik and the Giewoncki Pass. The eastern walls descend to the Kirkor Gully, while to the west to the Mała Łąka Valley there is a short ridge ending with the Saddle Crag. From the side of Saddle Turnia, this ridge is quite clear, rounded and grassy, above the Saddle it flattens out and grows into the walls of the Zadnia Giewoncka Tower in a hardly distinguishable place. In addition, one more rocky perch descends to the Valley of the Small Meadow from Wysoka Giewoncka Turnia, which separates two gullies. Looking from the bottom, on the left side of this perch there is the Gully with the Threshold, on the right the Gully of the Sleeping Knights.
