Babky

Babky is a mountain peak within the Western Tatras, reaching 1,566 meters above sea level. The summit sits on a ridge where hikers can follow established trails that wind through forested slopes and across rocky terrain.

The mountain became part of the Tatras National Park, which was created to protect this important mountain region. This designation was one of Slovakia's early efforts to safeguard its natural landscapes.

Local mountaineering traditions include annual gatherings where experienced climbers share knowledge about ascending Babky through various seasonal conditions.

Hikers should wear sturdy footwear and bring weather protection, as conditions change quickly on the mountain. Multiple starting points in the valley offer route options with varying difficulty levels.

From this summit, visitors can see the distinct geological differences between the western and eastern Tatras. The view reveals how mountain formations vary on both sides and display different rock and terrain types.
