Sienna Kopa (1848 m a.s.l.) is a modest yet rewarding summit in the Slovak High Tatras, offering a fine panorama over the Spiš region and the imposing Gerlach massif. Easy to reach and gentle underfoot, it makes a great outing for hikers of all abilities.
The peak sits on a short ridge running south-west from Slavkovský štít, separated from it by the dwarf-pine-covered saddle of Senná prekyba. At its foot lie three small tarns known as the Slavkovský ponds — today only one of them still holds water. Together with the saddle, Sienna Kopa forms a natural divide between the Senná kotlina hollow and the lower reaches of Slavkovská dolina valley, creating a peaceful, sheltered atmosphere that feels far removed from the busier Tatra trails.
How to reach the summitIn Józef Nyka's classic guidebook 'Tatry Słowackie' the peak appears under the name 'Kopa Siana' — useful to know if you are consulting older Polish maps or guides.
