About this map

Name: Gerlachovský štít topographic map, elevation, terrain.

Location: Gerlachovský štít, Vysoké Tatry, District of Poprad, Region of Prešov, Eastern Slovakia, 05984, Slovakia (49.16398 20.13401 49.16408 20.13411)

Average elevation: 2,103 m

Minimum elevation: 1,571 m

Maximum elevation: 2,618 m

Usually listed at 2655 metres AMSL (8,711 ft), its exact elevation is actually 0.6 metres (2.0 feet) lower. The pyramidal shape of the massif is marked by a huge cirque. Despite its relatively low elevation, the about 2,000 m vertical rise from the valley floor makes Gerlachovský štít soar. Mistaken for an average mountain in the rugged High Tatras range in the more distant past, it has since played a symbolic role in the eyes of the rulers and populations of several Central European nations, to the point that between the 19th and mid-20th century, it had four different names with six name reversals. It managed to be the highest mountain of the Kingdom of Hungary, and of the countries of Czechoslovakia, Slovakia and then Czechoslovakia again within the span of less than three decades of the 20th century.
