Pachoľa, Mountain summit in Western Tatras, Slovakia.
Pachoł is a pyramid-shaped summit in the Western Tatras that rises to 2167 meters and commands views across the Chocske Vrchy and surrounding alpine terrain. A secondary peak called Plačlivé nad Vrecom at 2130 meters sits nearby, creating a distinctive two-topped profile.
The mountain's routes have served as passages through the Western Tatras since the Tatra National Park was established as a protected area. The trails have remained important pathways for visitors and mountaineers ever since.
The summit draws Slovak mountaineers throughout the year, who gather here to exchange stories and share their knowledge of the Tatra trails. It remains a meaningful gathering place within the local climbing community.
The summit can be reached via marked trails starting from Zverovka in Rohacska Dolina, with mountain shelters nearby for rest and overnight stays. Be prepared for a full-day hike with steep sections and variable mountain weather.
The summit displays a distinctive two-peaked silhouette due to the nearby secondary peak of Plačlivé nad Vrecom. This striking profile makes it recognizable from a distance within the mountain range.
