Lavínová veža, Mountain summit in Poprad District, Slovakia
Lavínová veža reaches an elevation of 2600 meters and stands as part of the northern ridge of Zadný Gerlachovský štít in the High Tatras.
The first documented climb to the summit occurred on July 26, 1904, when Janusz Chmielowski, Klemens Bachleda, and Stanisław Stopka completed their ascent.
The mountain's name stems from frequent avalanches on its slopes facing Velická dolina, reflecting the natural phenomena that shaped local mountaineering traditions.
Access to the summit requires accompaniment by certified mountain guides due to technical climbing requirements and variable weather conditions throughout the year.
Military personnel placed measuring devices at the peak in 1895, marking one of the earliest recorded human interactions with this challenging mountain terrain.
