Ušatá veža (2265 m a.s.l.) is the most prominent tower in the north-western ridge of Malý Kežmarský štít in the High Tatras — a striking double-headed rocky pinnacle that stands out sharply against the surrounding mountain scenery. Its two summits, almost equal in height, give it a distinctive silhouette unlike anything else in this part of the range.

The tower rises above Ušaté sedlo (the 'Eared Saddle'), separated from the main wall of Malý Kežmarský štít by a bold, steep face. From that saddle, a conspicuous diagonal gully known as the 'German Ladder' sweeps downward — one of the most recognisable features of this area. In summer the warm-coloured granite glows in the sun; in winter the whole massif transforms into an icy, strictly alpine environment. The elevated position offers sweeping views across the High Tatras on both the Slovak and Polish sides.

• Ušatá veža is not accessible to regular hikers — both summits can only be reached by climbing. The most favourable climbing approach leads from Ušaté sedlo.

• Both summits are strictly for climbers — no marked tourist trail leads to the top.
• The area falls within the Slovak TANAP national park; relevant regulations apply.

A historical footnote worth knowing: the name 'Golden' used in the Polish version of the name is no coincidence — as early as the first half of the 18th century, gold prospectors from Kežmarok named the Fábry family regularly crossed the saddle below on their way to their mining grounds at Medené lávky. The first ascent of both summits in summer was made on 26 July 1912 by Alfred Grosz, Tibold Kregczy and Lajos Rokfalusy.
