Tag - Hiadeľské sedlo

Hiadeľské sedlo – a distinct, wide pass with an altitude of 1,099 m a.s.l. in the main ridge of the Low Tatras in the Central Western Carpathians in Slovakia, separating the Low Tatras (in the east) from the Staré Hory Mountains in the west.

The pass lies between the Prašivá peak (1,652 m) in the east and the Kozí chrbát peak (1,330 m) in the west. The southern slopes descend to the Hiadeľská valley, the north-western ones to the Barboriná valley, a branch of the Korytnická valley. The pass is a transition between the Hiadeľská and Korytnická valleys. A forest road runs through it from the village of Hiadeľ in the south to Korytnica-kúpele in the north. On the southern side, below the pass, there is a prominent spring. The pass lies within the Low Tatras National Park.

The pass is grassy and offers limited views to the south and northwest. There is a crossroads of hiking trails and an information board on the pass describing the battles of 1944. This is also one of the few places where the Low Tatras National Park allows camping.
