Ostré

Ostré is a mountain summit in the Low Tatras near the town of Ružomberok, rising to approximately 1067 meters above sea level. The terrain offers varying slopes and ground conditions across different sections of the landscape.

The peak served as a local navigation landmark long before the Nízke Tatry National Park was established in the region. Hiking routes to the summit developed gradually over decades through the efforts and exploration of mountaineers and walkers.

Local mountaineering clubs organize regular expeditions to Ostré, maintaining traditional hiking routes and sharing knowledge about alpine navigation techniques.

Marked trails from Ružomberok lead toward the summit via several routes, with the direct path taking about three hours to walk. Visitors should expect changing weather conditions and bring sturdy footwear and plenty of water for the climb.

The rock composition features limestone with natural platforms at different heights that become visible as you climb higher. These formations create interesting vantage points and reveal the geological character of the region.
