Bystrá, Mountain summit in Western Tatras, Slovakia
Bystrá rises to an elevation of 2,248 meters, forming the highest peak in the Western Tatras with two distinct ridges extending toward the south.
The mountain carried the name Pyszna until the late 1800s, derived from a summer pasture area that has since become a protected nature reserve.
The name Bystrá reflects the rapid stream that originates near the summit, characterizing the natural water features of this mountainous region.
Hikers can access the mountain through marked trails starting from road 537 between Pribylina and Podbanské resort, with an elevation gain of 1,400 meters.
Two southern ridges split the mountain, with the western section displaying jagged rock formations while the eastern part presents grassy slopes.
