Široká, Mountain summit in High Tatras, Slovakia.

The granite summit of Široká reaches an elevation of 2,210 meters and extends along a lateral ridge spanning 7 kilometers in length.

Prince Christian Hohenlohe acquired the area in 1879 to establish a private hunting reserve, enclosing it with wooden and wire fences.

The mountain stands between Javorová and Bielovodská valleys, featuring in regional hiking traditions and mountaineering activities throughout generations.

Visitors can reach the summit from Starý Smokovec by taking a bus to Tatranská Javorina and following marked hiking trails to the peak.

The geological composition combines granite peaks with limestone northern slopes, creating conditions for both granite and calcareous plant species.
