Bradavica, Mountain summit in Poprad District, Slovakia.
Bradavica is a mountain summit in Poprad District featuring four distinct peaks that rise between three valleys. The highest point reaches 2476 meters and offers access to a demanding climbing landscape.
The mountain was first documented to be climbed in 1892 by climbers Klimek and Jan Bachleda Tajber alongside writer Kazimierz Tetmajer. This early expedition marked the beginning of its recorded history as a climbing destination.
Two of the peaks carry the names of early climbers who reached the summit. These names show how the mountain community honors and remembers important achievements.
Climbing requires either a licensed mountain guide or membership in a mountaineering club, as there are no marked tourist trails. Visitors should arrange this in advance and understand the demands before attempting the ascent.
The route through Kwietnikowy Żleb is complex and requires technical skills to navigate rocky terrain safely. This challenging path makes the mountain a genuine test for experienced climbers.
