Zadnie Jatki (2020 m a.s.l.) is the highest point of the western Belianske Tatry ridge — a twin-summit peak with a raw, untamed character that makes it one of the most intriguing spots in the Slovak High Tatras. It rewards the curious with dramatic scenery, rich alpine flora, and a rare sense of true wilderness.
The peak has two summits: the western one at 2020 m and the eastern one at 1984 m, connected by a broad ridge dotted with rocky walls up to 30 m high. To the west, the grassy Šalená Sedlo (Szalona Przełęcz, 1936 m) separates Zadnie Jatki from the neighbouring Szalony Wierch, giving the peak a clearly defined silhouette. The southern slopes descend steeply toward the Bielska Rówień plateau in the Valley of Przednie Koperszady — rocky near the top, then grassy and finally draped in dwarf pine. In autumn the colour palette here is extraordinary.
How to reach the summitThat little cave, Capia Dziura, tells the whole story of Zadnie Jatki today — its corridors belong to the chamois, not hikers, making this peak a true sanctuary of alpine wildlife rather than a busy tourist destination.
