Volovec

Volovec is a mountain in the Western Tatras, right on the border between Slovakia and Poland. It sits on the main ridge of the range, between Ostrý Roháč and Deravá, and rises above three valleys: Chochołowska, Roháčska, and Jamnícka. For visitors, it offers a mountain outing with wide alpine scenery.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• a ridge walk in the Western Tatras, with Volovec positioned on the main crest between Ostrý Roháč and Deravá;
• views down into three valleys at once: Chochołowska, Roháčska, and Jamnícka;
• a borderland mountain setting that makes the area especially interesting for hikers exploring the Slovak-Polish frontier.

It is best to come prepared for a proper mountain trip, with sturdy shoes and weather-appropriate layers, since the route is in high alpine terrain. This is a good choice for hikers who want a scenic ridge excursion and a quieter setting above several side valleys.
