Šíp, Mountain summit in Velká Fatra range, Slovakia.
Šíp is a mountain summit in the Velká Fatra range positioned between Ružomberok and Dolný Kubín districts, standing at 1170 meters (3840 feet) above sea level. The terrain around the peak features open ridges and forested slopes that make for accessible hiking.
The mountain region shows traces of early settlements that drew on natural resources and contributed to the development of northern Slovakia. These early inhabitants established a lasting relationship between people and the mountain landscape.
The trails across this summit connect several communities in the region and have long served as gathering places for local celebrations and community events.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from various starting points, allowing visitors to choose routes suited to their experience level. The area remains accessible in winter when snow covers the trails from December through March.
From this summit, visitors can see four different mountain ranges on clear days: the Low Tatras, Greater Fatra, Choč Mountains, and Orava Magura. This rare view makes the location a good vantage point for understanding the broader mountain landscape of the region.
