The last climb of the Low Tatras goes over Stredná hoľa to Kráľova hoľa, the easternmost of the big summits, crowned by a transmitter you have seen for days. The Hron, the Hnilec, the Hornád and the Čierny Váh all rise on its slopes.

From the top the trail drops almost a thousand metres through pastures and forest to Telgárt, a village famous for its curving railway viaduct.
