Hrubý vrch

Hrubý vrch stands at 2,428 meters in elevation, forming part of the longest lateral ridge within the High Tatra Mountains of Slovakia.

The mountain remained unexplored until the 19th century when hunters first accessed its slopes, followed by winter mountaineers reaching the summit in 1912.

The name derives from local highlander dialect translating to 'huge summit', reflecting the mountain's substantial presence in the regional landscape.

Access to Hrubý vrch starts from Poprad city, with regular transportation connections to Starý Smokovec at the base of the Tatra Mountains.

The summit connects three different valleys - Hlinská, Mlynická, and Nefcerka - creating multiple approach routes for mountaineers and hikers.
