Mały Jaworowy Szczyt (2,385 m a.s.l.) is a mighty peak in the heart of the High Tatras, forming a striking twin with the neighbouring Jaworowy Szczyt. Wild, rugged and reserved for those who go with a licensed mountain guide, this is a genuine Tatra adventure away from the crowds.
The peak sits along the main High Tatra ridge between Świstowy Szczyt (2,383 m) and Jaworowy Szczyt (2,418 m). Its north face plunges dramatically into Javorová Valley as part of the famous 'Javorový múr' — the Maple Wall — while the south face drops steeply into Veľká Studená dolina. The summit offers a sweeping panorama: the surrounding High Tatra peaks, the Belianske Tatry ridge, and on clear days even the Orava Beskids and the hills of southern Poland. Climbers note that the rock, often loose and crumbling, becomes firmer and more reliable in winter conditions.
How to reach the summitThe first ascent was made in 1902 by K. Englisch with his mother Antónia and guide Ján Hunsdorfer — which is why one of the peak's historic German names is 'Antonienspitze', a tribute to that pioneering mother-and-son team.
