Malý Pyšný štít, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia

Téryspitze is a summit in the High Tatras with steep slopes composed of solid granite rock throughout. The rocky structure shapes the appearance of the mountain and determines the climbing routes to the peak.

The peak became part of Tatra National Park in 1949 when authorities designated the region for protection. This action secured the natural mountain landscape and its geological formations for future generations.

The German and Hungarian names honour Ödön Téry, who made the first ascent of the neighbouring Pyšný štít; the Polish and Slovak names simply refer to that higher summit. The Téry hut in the Valley of the Five Spiš Lakes also bears his name. The first recorded climb of Malý Pyšný štít was made by Jozef Déry in 1901 via the Lastovičia štrbina, and he also climbed the 15-metre Loktibrada tower standing in that gap.

Visitors should start early from the trailhead at Tatranská Lomnica and bring proper mountain equipment. Conditions change quickly in this region, so checking local forecasts and planning your route ahead is important.

On clear days, visitors can see about twenty neighboring peaks of the High Tatras from the summit. This wide vista makes the location an excellent point for understanding the structure and extent of the entire mountain range.
