Zadnia Nowoleśna Turnia is the highest point of the entire Nowoleśna Ridge in the Slovak part of the High Tatras — a proud rocky tower that stays hidden from casual hikers. This is a place for those seeking the true wilderness of the Tatras, far from crowded trails.

Rising to 2389 m above sea level, Zadnia Nowoleśna Turnia is both the highest and westernmost summit of the Nowoleśne Turnie group. It's flanked by distinctive rock formations — the Usypista Szczerbina notch separates it from Skrajna Warzęchowa Turnia, while the Nowoleśna Szczerbina saddle leads towards Pośrednia Nowoleśna Turnia. A section of the so-called Nowoleśna Gallery, known as Zadnia Nowoleśna Gallery, runs across its northern face — a route reserved for experienced climbers. The landscape here is one of raw, steep walls and rugged ridgelines, rewarding those who make the effort to reach these remote corners. In winter, the peak and its surroundings turn into a stunning yet hazardous white world, accessible only to seasoned winter alpinists.

• The summit is closed to regular tourism — access is limited to climbers with appropriate mountaineering skills and equipment

• Reaching the summit is permitted only for climbers — no publicly accessible hiking trails lead here
• Climbing experience and proper equipment are required, especially on the Zadnia Nowoleśna Gallery route

The first recorded ascent was made in summer 1902 by Karol Englisch and Johann Hunsdorfer senior, while the first winter ascent belongs to Władysław Krygowski in March 1928. This peak remains the domain of the few for whom the Tatras are not just scenery, but a genuine challenge.
