Kalacka Turnia – a crag rising above the Kalatówki clearing in the Polish Tatra Mountains. It is located at the end of the eastern ridge of Długi Giewont. On Kalacka Kopa this ridge splits into two branches; Kalacka Turnia is located in the orographic right. Its south-western slopes descend to the Bystra Valley, the north-eastern slopes to the Kalacký Trough. The slopes are now completely forested, only the top itself is rocky, similar to the ruins of a castle. For this reason, in the first half of the 19th century, it was called the "Zakopane Castle". It is made of limestone rocks. The limestone substratum causes karst phenomena to occur here. At the south-western foot of Kalacka Turnia there is a large Bystra Spring, and on the slopes there are caves: Mokra Koleba, Frapowana Nyża, Kalacki Tunelik, Dudnica, Kalacka Cave, Bystra Cave, Hole behind the Boulders, Goat Corridor.
