Murań (1890 m a.s.l.) is one of the most distinctive peaks in the Belianske Tatry — its silhouette, which some liken to a tiger's head and others to a frog, is instantly recognisable from afar. Rising as the westernmost prominent summit of the Belianske Tatry in Slovakia, it captivates with sheer limestone walls that soar up to 200 metres high.

The massif is built entirely of limestone, and its towering walls — which inspired the peak's very name — create a dramatic skyline visible from the meadow called Polana pod Muraniem (also known as Gałajdówka) in the lower Javorová Valley. The south-western wall alone stretches roughly 1200 metres in length and covers around 24 hectares; climbing expert Władysław Cywiński called it one of the most magnificent limestone faces in the entire Tatra range. In the wall you can spot the enormous entrance to Murańska Cave, and rare wallcreepers nest in the rock ledges. In autumn the massif glows golden, while winter turns it into a formidable icy fortress.

• Javorová Valley (Belianske Tatry, Slovakia) — the only known route to the summit passes through a notch in the wall leading up to the grassy ledge called Jagnięca Zagroda; the path is unmarked and difficult to find; difficulty: demanding

• The entire Murań massif is a strict nature reserve within Tatra National Park (TANAP) — access for tourists and climbers is prohibited.
• Several caves are located within the massif, including Murańska Cave, Murańskie Okno and Murańska Studnia — none are open to visitors.
• The summit is located on Slovak territory.

The first documented ascent of Murań was made by Hungarian aristocrat István Berzeviczy as early as 1717 — making it one of the earliest recorded Tatra summit conquests in history.
