Kráľova hoľa

Kráľova hoľa (Slovak pronunciation: [ˈkraːʎɔʋa ˈɦɔʎa]; German: Königsberg; Hungarian: Király-hegy,[1] literally "King's Mountain") is the highest mountain (1,946 m) of the eastern part of the Low Tatras in central Slovakia.

The summit, easily accessible by hiking trails from Telgárt as well as by a paved road from Šumiac (not open to motor vehicles, except for the mountain rescue service and maintenance workers of the TV transmitter on the summit), offers a panoramic view of Spiš, the Tatras, Liptov, and the Upper Hron Valley.

[2] Kráľova hoľa is often depicted in Slovak folklore and Romantic poetry as a safe refuge of heroes and highwaymen, in particular Juraj Jánošík.

During the anti-Nazi Slovak National Uprising, the partisan group Jánošík had their shelters below the top of the mountain.

In 1960, a TV transmitter with a 137.5 metres tall guyed tubular mast was built on the top.
