Veľký Šturec, Mountain pass between Greater Fatra and Low Tatras National Parks in Ružomberok District, Slovakia.
The pass rises to 1003 meters above sea level, connecting the regions of Liptov and Pohronie through forested mountain terrain.
The mountain road through Veľký Šturec Pass, dating from the late 15th century, served as a transport route for ore from Staré Hory to Krakow.
The wooden cross at the pass intersection marks traditional Slovak road crossings and represents local religious practices in mountain areas.
The pass includes directional signs for hikers and cyclists, with access via paved road from Liptovské Revúce or public bus to Vyšná Revúca.
The European long-distance hiking trail E8 crosses through the pass, offering connections to extensive trail networks in both national parks.
