Selected alternatives for you
    Ostretok, with a height of 1592 m above sea level, is considered the highest peak of the Great Fatra. This route is rugged, offers unique views of the surroundings, but also a pleasant walk through the forest. The hike itself has only an average elevation gain, and therefore is not among the most demanding, but it is quite long and will take you the whole day.

    Ostredok is characterized by its two peaks - the main southern and the lower northern. Both are wide and rocky, which provides perfect and unobstructed circular views, especially of the High, Low and West Tatras, Kremnica Mountains, Malá Fatra, as well as the surrounding Velka Fatra peaks.

    Author’s recommendation

    There are several marked hiking trails leading to Ostredok. However, they all start in the village of Liptovské Revúce, specifically in the Vyšná Revúca section (approx. 11 km). More demanding tourists will certainly appreciate the circular route, which leads through Ploská and Chyžky with a return via Krížna.

    The full-day hike starts in the village of Liptovské Revúce in the Vyšné Revúce district. Already when climbing through meadows and pastures along the yellow trail to the Ploská Pass, there are views of the Low Tatras towards Liptovská Lúžna, part of the Western Tatras and the Little Fatra. To the right of this pass, you can admire the cliffs of the Čierny kameň reserve and there is also a part of the boards of the Čierny kameň Educational Trail on the route. Continuing along the yellow trail, you will reach the Ploská peak (1532 m above sea level), where there is a monument from the times of the Slovak National Uprising and views of the Turca and Martinské hole areas. From there, the trail leads along the red trail through easy terrain and pleasant glades through Chyžky and Koniarky to the Ostredok peak itself (1592 m above sea level). You continue along the main Velká Fatra ridge to Krížna (1572 m above sea level) with a panoramic view towards Banská Bystrica. The return to the starting point of the hike is from Rybovské sedlo along the green trail through Suchá dolina back to Vyšná Revúca.
