Sedielková kopa

Siodełkowa Kopa is a mountain summit in the High Tatras that reaches 2062 meters elevation with two distinct peaks connected by a grassy plateau. The formation belongs to the Ostra mountain range and features rocky outcrops along its ridgeline that vary in steepness and composition.

The mountain was first documented by name in 1864 when Karel Koristka recorded it in geographical records. Early mapping attempts created confusion, as some cartographers used different names for the same location during the 1800s.

This summit is part of the western High Tatras ridges and offers views toward Kriván, a peak that holds deep meaning for Slovak national pride. The location connects visitors to the mountain traditions and nature-centered values of the region.

Access to certain areas requires attention to national park regulations, as previously marked trails were removed to protect the natural environment. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and be prepared for changing weather conditions at this elevation.

The mountain contains a research area called Sedielková plain where scientists conduct biological studies of local flora and fauna. This section attracts naturalists and researchers interested in observing how alpine ecosystems function at this altitude.
