Kráľova hoľa (1,946 m above sea level) is one of Slovakia’s most iconic mountains and is known as the “mother of four rivers”—the Čierny Váh, Hron, Hnilec, and Hornád all have their sources here. Several hiking trails lead to the summit from Šumiac and Telgárt, all offering beautiful mountain scenery and views of the vast surroundings of the Low Tatras. During the ascent, you can take a break at the Mountain Hut below Kráľova hoľa, located roughly halfway along the trail from Šumiac. The peak is also popular among cyclists, as it is the highest mountain accessible by bike in Slovakia and in Central Europe.
