Overview

Koncista(slov), Koncsiszta (hung)The mighty highest peak in the long side ridge, which starts in Zmarzly Szczyt (main ridge of High Tatras) It has two summits: North and South separated by pass: Wyznie Pasternakowe Wrotka. There is a great block on South Summit which resambles head of a horse by shape and for this reason is named Jarmaya Horse or Kowadlo ( slov.Nakova)





Konczysta Massif is a western border of Batyzowiecka Valley and an eastern border of Zlomiska Valley and Stwolska Valley.
It is one from the easiest summits among the highest peaks in High Tatras.

Getting There

The easiest access is from the Popradske Pleso and The Pass under Osterva, Tupa Ridge and next by Stwolska Pass.
It is beautiful safe route in winter conditions.

Red Tape

There is no marked route on Konczysta.
It is remarkable that tourists footpaths are closed from 1 of Nov to 15 of Jun in Slovakian Tatras according to TANAP rules.

When To Climb

It is an easy climbing even during winter, but piece of rope for Kowadlo on the top is recommended.
Winter views on neighborhoods of Zlomiska Valley, Wysoka and Gerlach are very impressive. Sitting glissades on the snow from Konczysta to Stwolska Pass are very fun, quick and rather safe.

Camping

Mountain Hotel Popradske Pleso (1h 20min from train stop). One for the most beautyful hut in Tatra Mountains
