Krúpova hoľa, Mountain summit in Brezno District, Slovakia
Krúpova hoľa is a peak in the Low Tatras where rocky slopes transition to open grasslands at the summit. The landscape reveals dense forests on lower elevations that give way to windswept meadows offering panoramic views across the mountain range.
This peak became part of Slovakia's national hiking network during the 20th century with trails and markings established to connect major summits. The route development made the mountain accessible to hikers and integrated it into the broader recreational infrastructure.
Local mountaineering traditions include annual gatherings at the summit where Slovak hikers share experiences and maintain trail marking traditions.
Multiple marked trails ascend to the summit from the Demänovská Valley with varying difficulty levels to suit different hikers. A mountain hut along the route provides shelter and rest stops for those making the climb.
The mountain serves as the sole access point to reach Ďumbier, the highest peak of the Low Tatras, through an interconnected ridge system.
