Kozí kameň, Mountain summit in Poprad District, Slovakia

Kozí kameň is a mountain summit in the Kozie Chrbty range located in Poprad District at approximately 1,255 meters elevation. The peak is accessible via multiple marked trails that wind through forested slopes and varied mountain terrain.

The Poprad region has been inhabited since the 13th century, with settlements establishing roots in this mountain landscape long ago. Over time, the area transitioned from primarily agricultural and forestry use to becoming a destination for outdoor recreation.

The name Kozí kameň, "Goat Stone", is used for the whole 1,255.3 m summit of the Kozie chrbty range. The bare ridge and summit give views of the High and Low Tatras, and in clear conditions the Levočské vrchy, Branisko, Volovské vrchy and Veľký Choč can also be seen. A marked trail from the Tabličky saddle follows the cleared crest to the top.

Multiple starting points make it possible to reach the summit via different routes, though winter hiking from December through March requires proper winter gear and careful footing. Plan to complete your hike with time before nightfall and bring layers since weather conditions can change rapidly at this elevation.

Kozí kameň sits on the watershed between the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea: the Jaškovec brook on its northern side drains via the Lopušná and Mlynica into the Poprad, while streams south of the summit feed the Hornád. From the bare ridge, Levočské vrchy, Branisko, Volovské vrchy and Veľký Choč can be seen in good conditions.
