Tokarnia (1,220 m a.s.l.) is a massive forested peak in the Belianske Tatry (Belanské Tatry), rising above the charming village of Ždiar. It is one of those summits that draw attention precisely because they remain off-limits — wild, untouched, and cloaked in dense woodland.
The peak forms part of a spur running northward from Bujačí vrch (1,947 m a.s.l.) in the main ridge of the Belianske Tatry. Its slopes are covered with continuous forest, offering a lush green character in summer and a hushed, snow-covered stillness in winter. Where the tree line opens up, views stretch across the main Belianske Tatry ridge, the Spišská Magura hills, the Levoča Mountains, and numerous peaks straddling the Slovak-Polish border. The western slopes drain into Tokárenský stream, while the southern and eastern sides feed into Babí stream.
