Zadný Gerlach, Granite summit in High Tatras, Slovakia.
Zadni Gerlach rises to 2616 meters with three distinct peaks, forming a triangular shape within the main ridge of the High Tatras mountain range.
The first documented climb of Zadni Gerlach occurred in 1895 when mountaineers Janusz Chmielowski and guide Jedrzej Wala reached the summit during summer conditions.
The mountain served as a territorial marker between Poland and Hungary for centuries, holding the status of Poland's highest peak until border modifications.
Access to Zadni Gerlach requires authorization from TANAP authorities, and climbers must follow designated routes between July 16 and October 31 each year.
A Soviet military aircraft crashed near the peak in 1944, leading to the installation of a memorial plate at the nearby symbolic cemetery.
