Jahnaci and Kolovy peaks from Siroka
Beatiful granite pyramide of
Jahnaci Stit viewed both from west and east presents itself as a smaller twin peak to the neighbouring greater
Kolovy Stit.
The marked route reaching the summit explains its remorseless popularity among Tatra hikers, absolutely wonderful and varied panorama attracts many.
Jahnaci stays still also quite popular climbing target offering lots of routes of different technical difficulty level, the most interesting for climbers is Jahnaci's South Face.
Since the 2nd half of XVIIIth century (and probably even earlier) the whole Jahnaci massif was an area of intensive hunting activity of local highlanders as very rich in chamoises. It is sure that the hunstmen were ascending all nearby ridges including the main summit of Jahnaci Stit.
Besides sheperd's activity in former times all nearby valleys were being explored by miners and treasure seekers.
First known tourist ascent:
9.VIII.1793 - Robert Townson and guide Hans Gross ("Der Grosse Hans")
First winter ascent:
3.XII.1911 - Gyula A. Hefty and Lajos Rokfalusy

NW - Jahnaci Hreben ridge falling from the main summit and separating Kolova and Zadne Medodoly valleys.

separating valleys of Zadne Medodoly and Bielych Plies.

Getting There
You can visit the area both from Slovak and Polish side of the mountains.
The key thing when planning a stay in Slovak High Tatra is to get to Poprad - major city in the area with very good communication links with the rest of the country, from there you should go to one of close High Tatra resorts: Stary Smokovec or Strbske Pleso for example.
You can of course find accomodation anywhere in the area, thanks to an electric train line linking whole southern High Tatra foothills you will find yourself anywhere you want at the right time.
Slovak bus and train connection search
Coming from Polish side as always you must get to Zakopane first, very well developed bus and train communication
with the whole Poland, especially nearby Cracow City (100 km) .
Going to Slovak side of High Tatra you should take one of many buses or minibuses going in the direction to Palenica Bialczanska("Morskie Oko") and get off one stop before the final one at Lysa Polana - Polish/Slovak road bordercrossing point.
Slovak bus stop is just nearby behind the border at a great parking place (shops...).
