Veľké Solisko, Mountain summit in Poprad District, Slovakia.

Veľké Solisko is a mountain summit in the High Tatras reaching 2413 meters in elevation. The peak shows steep rock faces and exposed ridges that create a dramatic landscape.

Karol Englisch and guide Paul Spitzkopf senior made the first recorded ascent on 19 July 1903, climbing from Furkotská dolina; Englisch briefly named the peak Annaspitze. The first winter ascent followed on 12 January 1912 by Gyula Hefty and Lajos Rokfalusy. Earlier surveys gave heights of 2404, 2412, 2413 or 2414 m.

The name comes from a spot at the foot of the peak where shepherds stored salt (soľ) for their sheep and cattle; cartographers later applied it to the whole ridge. Karol Englisch, first on the summit on 19 July 1903, named it Annaspitze after an unknown person, a name that did not survive.

The routes are best tackled during summer months when weather is stable and conditions are safest. Visitors should bring proper gear and prepare for steep, rocky sections along the way.

The summit is topped by a two-metre rock block shaped like a mushroom, and older surveys put the height at 2404, 2412, 2413 or 2414 metres. The dwarf buttercup grows abundantly on the slopes. The first recorded ascent was made on 19 July 1903 by Karol Englisch with guide Paul Spitzkopf senior, who named the peak Annaspitze after an unknown person.
