Rinias (1,473 m a.s.l.) is one of the quieter summits of the Belianske Tatry — a forested, secluded peak that offers a genuine sense of mountain wilderness far from the busy trails of the High Tatras. It rises above the hamlet of Kežmarské Žľaby, roughly 14 km northwest of Kežmarok, along a side ridge descending southward from Bujačí vrch in the main Belianske Tatry crest.
The summit is cloaked in patchy forest, allowing only limited views — but where the trees open up, you can spot part of the Poprad Basin, the surrounding peaks of both the Belianske and High Tatras, the Pieniny range, the Levoča Hills, Branisko, and the eastern Low Tatras. The atmosphere here is calm and untouched, a world away from crowded tourist hotspots. In winter, the surrounding valleys fill with snow and the silence becomes almost tangible.
How to reach the summitThe northeastern slopes of Rinias are drained by the Milý stream, which flows into the Čierna voda river in the Valley of Seven Springs — one of the hidden waterways that give the Belianske Tatry their distinctly wild character.
