Posledná veža — 'The Last Tower' — is one of four dramatic rocky pinnacles crowning the ridge between Pyšný štít and Lomnický štít in the High Tatras. Standing at 2560 m above sea level, it earns its name by being the last significant tower in the ridge when approaching from the Baranie rohy side. This is a place for those who crave raw alpine character rather than a comfortable summit walk.
Wedged between Jordánova štrbina and Posledná štrbina, the peak offers a true high-mountain experience — sharp ridges, exposed rock faces and breathtaking views across the surrounding Tatra peaks. The terrain is steep and technical throughout the year. In winter, the tower takes on a dramatic, icy atmosphere, a legacy recalled by the first winter ascent made by Stanisław Krystyn Zaremba in March 1936. Summer brings clearer skies and sweeping panoramas, but the rocky challenge remains the same.
How to reach the summitThe first recorded ascent took place on 13 September 1898, when Karol Jordán reached the top with guides Klimek Bachleda and Józef Tatar — a moment of Tatra history preserved in the old German name 'Jordánspitze'.
