Dračí štít, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia.

Dračí štít features two distinct peaks, with the main summit reaching 2523 meters and a secondary peak standing at 2518 meters above sea level.

The first documented climb to the mountain peak occurred in 1905 when Alfred Martin and Johann Breuer Junior successfully reached the summit during summer conditions.

The mountain's name derives from the Dragon Lake and local folklore about a dragon that supposedly lived near its shores in ancient times.

Access to the summit requires membership in a mountaineering club affiliated with UIAA and climbing is permitted from July 16 through October 31.

The mountain ridge includes a notable rock formation called the Great Dragon Tooth, which appears as a third summit when viewed from certain angles.
