Jahňací štít, Mountain summit in Poprad District, Slovakia

Jahňací štít is a granite peak in the High Tatras that rises to 2,229 meters (7,313 feet) with two distinct summits. A horizontal ridge connects the two tops and forms the characteristic profile of this mountain.

Robert Townson and guide Hans Gross completed the first documented tourist ascent on August 9, 1793. This climb marked the start of mountaineering activity in this high mountain region.

The name Jahňací štít means Lamb Peak, referencing mountain animals that once roamed these high elevations. Local people recognize the peak by this traditional name that connects the summit to the region's natural heritage.

Reaching the summit requires following marked trails through Tatra National Park with proper hiking equipment. The best time to climb is between August and October when mountain conditions are most stable.

Four rocky ridges extend from this summit in different directions, each leading to separate valleys and offering distinct climbing routes. Each ridge provides different views and creates varied ways to experience this mountain landscape.
