Volovec, Mountain summit in Western Tatras, Slovakia
Volovec rises to 2064 meters between Ostrý Roháč and Deravá peaks, forming a natural border between Slovakia and Poland on the main ridge.
The mountain served as a triangulation point in 1820, marking one of the first precise elevation measurements in the Western Tatras region.
Three valleys converge near the mountain: Chochołowska from Poland, plus Roháčska and Jamnícka from Slovakia, creating natural passages between both countries.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from different valleys, with the main route T2 connecting several peaks through established mountain paths.
The mountain contains specific metamorphic rocks including Alaskite and Mylonite, while supporting populations of Tatra chamois and Alpine marmots.
