Sedielko, Mountain pass in High Tatras, Slovakia.
Sedielko is a mountain pass in the High Tatras located at 2376 meters elevation between Mały Lodowy Szczyt and Lodowa Kopa peaks. The saddle connects three valleys and is accessible via a marked hiking route.
The first recorded crossing occurred in 1854 when explorers Feliks Berdau, Wojciech Grzegorzek, and Józef Stolarczyk traversed the pass with their guides. This early expedition marked its entry into the mountaineering history of the Tatras.
This pass marks the connection point between three valleys: Dolina Zadniej Jaworowej, Dolinka Lodowa, and Dolina Małej Zimnej Wody.
The hiking trail closes during winter months due to snow conditions and requires good physical fitness because of steep approaches. Visitors should bring appropriate mountain gear and have experience with high-altitude hiking.
This pass holds the distinction of being the highest saddle in the Tatras crossed by a marked hiking trail, which sets it apart from other mountain crossings in the range. The combination of extreme elevation and marked accessibility makes it noteworthy for hikers.
