Kráľova hoľa, Mountain summit in Low Tatras, Slovakia.

Kráľova hoľa is the highest summit of the eastern Low Tatras, reaching 1,946.1 m above Šumiac, about 19 km south of Svit. Its rounded top lies at the eastern end of the Kráľovohoľské Tatry ridge, east of Stredná hoľa (1,876 m), and is covered by low alpine grass with rocky fields. A 137.5 m guyed mast of the 1960 TV and radio transmitter stands on the summit.

In the early 19th century, exploitative timber harvesting left the mountain largely deforested; Ludwig Greiner worked in the second half of that century to restore the timberline to its natural elevation of about 1,650 m. During the anti-Nazi Slovak National Uprising, the partisan group Jánošík kept shelters below the summit. In 1960 a TV transmitter with a 137.5 m guyed tubular mast was built on the top.

The Slovak name Kráľova hoľa, German Königsberg and Hungarian Király-hegy all mean 'King's Mountain'. In folk ballads such as Na Kráľovej holi and in Ján Botto's 1862 poem The Death of Jánošík, the mountain stands for the homeland and as a refuge of the highwayman Juraj Jánošík, making it an informal Slovak national symbol alongside Kriváň.

Several hiking trails approach the summit from different starting points throughout the region. Weather conditions shift quickly at this elevation, so proper gear and advance planning are necessary for a safe visit.

From the summit, observers have documented the Romanian Apuseni Mountains more than 300 km away, including Vârful Vlădeasa at 308 km and Vârful Buteasa at 309.6 km. This is the Slovak long-distance visibility record and the first time the 300 km threshold was crossed from Slovak territory, likely a first in Central Europe.
