Pośrednie Jatki (1,984 m a.s.l.) is a rugged rocky summit in the main ridge of the Belianske Tatry (Belan Tatras) — wild, raw, and deliberately off-limits to visitors. That very inaccessibility is what keeps this peak in its pristine, untouched state, and the views from its top are among the widest in the entire range.
The summit sits in the central section of the Belianske Tatry ridge, flanked by Zadné Jatky (2,020 m) to the west and Predné Jatky (2,012 m) to the south. Only low-growing vegetation covers the rocky top, which — on a clear day — opens up sweeping views across the Belianske Tatry main ridge and countless High Tatra peaks. In ideal conditions the panorama stretches as far as the Stolické vrchy hills, the Pieniny, Spišská Magura, the Orava Beskids, and many summits of southern Poland. The northern slopes drain via the Tokárenský stream into the Biela river, while water from the southern slopes flows down the Napájadlový stream into the Kežmarská Biela Voda. The entire massif lies within Tatra National Park and the Belianske Tatry National Nature Reserve.
How to reach the summitThe Belianske Tatry stand apart from the rest of the Tatras because they are built from limestone and dolomite rather than granite — a geological quirk that gives this range an unusually rich and endemic flora, making its protected status all the more important.
