Špik, Mountain summit in the Julian Alps, Slovenia

Špik is the fourteenth-highest peak in the Julian Alps, rising to 2,472 m as the pointed summit of the Martuljek group. Its two normal routes both start in the Krnica valley and merge below the top: one crosses the summit of Lipnica (2,418 m), the other follows the Kačji Graben ridge. The nearest chalet is at Krnica (1,113 m), 1,304 m below the summit.

In May 1952, five mountaineers from Slovenska Bistrica, aged 21 to 25, died in an accident on Špik's northern face. The peak lies in the Martuljek group of the Julian Alps and reaches 2,472 m.

The name Špik is an archaic dialectal Slovene borrowing of the German common noun Spitze ("peak"), applied to the mountain for its pointed summit; unusually, German speakers also call it Špik rather than Spitze. The settlement of Gozd–Martuljek, directly below the northern face, is known for views of the triangular summit.

Both normal routes start in the Krnica valley and merge below the summit: one crosses the Lipnica summit with a few easy fixed-cable sections, the other follows the Kačji Graben ridge as a steep walk. Ascent takes about five hours; the nearest chalet is at Krnica (1,113 m), 1,304 m below the top. Routes are snow-free in summer.

The mountain gets its name from its sharp, pointed formation that can be recognized from far away on clear days. This striking shape makes it an easy landmark to spot for other hikers moving through the Alps.
