Skrajny Goły Wierch Liptowski (1984 m a.s.l.) is a striking subsidiary peak in the Liptov Kopy ridge — a wild and little-visited corner of the Tatra Mountains where the landscape feels refreshingly untouched. Its grassy, rounded summit rises above a sea of dwarf pine and forest, with sweeping views down into the Koprová Valley.
The peak sits between Zadný Holý vrch and Krížne, separated by the upper and lower Koprová saddles (1925 m and 1914 m respectively). Only the very top is open and grassy; lower down, dense dwarf pine and mixed forest take over. To the west, a spur ridge divides two glacial cirques — the Koprová Cirque to the north and the Krížna Cirque to the south. The eastern slopes drop into the Koprová Valley, where three footpaths cross the hillside at different elevations, including the Eastern Circuit and the Forest Circuit trails. In summer the summit rewards visitors with panoramic views; in winter it takes on a serious, alpine character.
How to reach the summitThe first recorded winter ascent was made on 2 February 1914 by Ludwik Leszko, Wacław Majewski and W. Skibniewski — true pioneers of winter mountaineering in the Tatras. Centuries earlier, the grassy tops of the Liptov Kopy served as summer pastures for shepherds from the villages of Východná and Liptovská Kokava.
