Malý Mlynár (1973 m) is a twin-summited peak on the main ridge of the Mlynár massif, rising above the Bielovodská and Žabia Bielovodská valleys on the Slovak side of the High Tatras. This is a destination for experienced alpine climbers rather than casual hikers — its steep walls and rocky ridges offer genuine mountaineering challenges.
The character of this peak is rugged and rocky. Its southwestern slope is moderately steep, grassy and scree-covered, patched with dwarf pine, but from the northwest to the east rise impressive high rock walls dropping into the Skorušiniak Gully. The most imposing is the 270-metre northeastern wall of the main summit, split by the Great Chimney and the Spring Corner. In winter the whole area is blanketed in snow and ice, and the views of neighbouring towers — Skorušiniaková veža, Mlynárove zuby and Skoruší mních — are unforgettable.
How to reach the summitThe peak's name echoes its taller neighbour, Mlynár — and its rocky ridges, dotted with towers and notches bearing folk names like Mlynárove zuby and Skoruší mních, make it a paradise for winter alpine climbers.
