Ptak, Mountain summit in Tatra Mountains, Slovakia.

The Vogel peak stands at an elevation of 2037 meters in the Tatra Mountains, featuring steep rock faces and extensive meadows.

The mountain received its name in the 19th century when German cartographers mapped the region, translating the Slovak word 'Vták' meaning 'bird'.

The Vogel summit serves as a meeting point for Slovak mountaineers who gather annually to commemorate local climbing achievements.

Hikers can reach the summit through marked trails from the Tatranská Javorina valley, with the ascent taking approximately four hours.

The mountain houses several endemic plant species that grow exclusively in the limestone crevices of its northern face.
