Plačlivé, Mountain summit in Liptovský Mikuláš District, Slovakia
Description
Plačlivé is a summit in the Western Tatras rising to 2125 meters, distinguished by steep cliffs on its northern face that drop into the Dolina Smutna basin. The mountain features sharp ridges and narrow passages along exposed rock faces throughout its upper reaches.
History
The summit was first documented to have been climbed around 1804 by Pál Kitaibel. Later, Ludwik Zejszner and Göran Wahlenberg measured its height using barometric techniques.
Culture
The summit carries two names reflecting the region's heritage: Plačlivé in Slovak and Rohacz Płaczliwy in Polish. This linguistic duality shows how the mountain belongs to multiple communities that have shared these peaks for centuries.
Practical
The route requires climbing skills and includes steep sections with chains, loose rocks, and narrow paths along exposed ridges. Visitors should expect challenging terrain and need solid footing to proceed safely.
Did you know?
The peak sits positioned between Rohacz Ostrý and Trzy Kopy, offering views of both mountain ranges: the Western Tatras and the High Tatras beyond, including distant summits like Kominiarski Wierch and Giewont. This location makes it a special vantage point for seeing the larger landscape.
