Kopa nad Wrotami

Kopa nad Wrotami is a summit in the High Tatras that rises to 2,075 meters and sits between two distinctive reference points on the mountain range. The peak features steep rock faces with a gently sloping ridge, creating distinct climbing and descent terrain.

The first successful ascent took place in the early 1900s when a group of mountaineers reached the summit. This climb was part of the growing exploration of the Tatra peaks during that era.

The mountain carries names used by both Slovak and Polish climbers, reflecting how communities have shared these peaks for generations. The neighboring peaks and ridge names show how different mountaineering traditions have shaped the way people refer to this area.

The route follows a ridge with moderate technical difficulty and can be completed fairly quickly under normal conditions. Climbers should prepare for exposed sections and rapidly changing mountain weather.

The northeast side of the mountain drops away in an almost vertical wall, making the summit particularly striking from that perspective. Few hikers approach the peak from this direction, keeping this angle of view relatively undiscovered.
