Jagnięcy Szczyt (2229 m a.s.l.) is one of the most rewarding peaks in the Slovak High Tatras — and one of the very few in this range that can be reached via a marked hiking trail. Sitting at the northeastern end of the High Tatras main ridge, it offers a sweeping panorama that early visitors described as having 'extraordinary diversity of motifs'. According to Samuel Weber, you can spot as many as 16 mountain lakes from the summit.

The peak actually has two summits connected by an almost level ridge — the higher one being the southwestern top. The views stretch across the Lomnický štít massif, with Malý Kežmarský štít dropping into the Zelené pleso valley along nearly 900-metre walls. In summer the granite ridges glisten in the sun; in autumn the surrounding valleys — Kołowa, Jagnięca, Białych Stawów and Skoruszowa — glow with warm colours; and in winter the massif takes on a truly alpine, austere character. Geologically, this is the northernmost granite massif of the High Tatras — just beyond, the Belianske Tatry begin.

• Bus stop Kežmarská Biela voda (Freedom Road) — yellow trail via Zelené pleso mountain hut, approx. 5 h 30 min ascent, 4 h 45 min descent, 1330 m of total elevation gain — moderate difficulty, with a few exposed sections secured by chains.

• The yellow marked trail is the only waymarked route to the summit — a genuine rarity among peaks in the Slovak High Tatras.
• On the descent, pay close attention to a narrow notch where the path crosses to the eastern side of the ridge. Many hikers miss it and continue towards Kołowy Szczyt — that path ends at a sheer drop with no way down.
• The southern walls are a classic destination for technical climbers, with numerous routes of varying difficulty, including the famous Hayde and Stanisławski lines.

The first recorded ascent was made by Robert Townson with local guide Hans Gross on 9 August 1793 — though shepherds, poachers and copper miners had known this peak long before any tourist set foot here.
