Very attractive for tourists is climbing Krivan (2,494 m), one of the peaks in the western part of the High Tatras. This multiple winner competes for the title of the most beautiful peak in Slovakia and is most impressive from the Liptov side.
When viewed from Pribylina or Gib, it is easy to recognize its peak by its peculiar peak curvature, thanks to which it bears its name.
The first ascent of Krivan took place in the 19th century, and since then the mountain has been considered a symbol of national pride and national pilgrimage. Recently, the pilgrimage tradition has been renewed.
The top of Krivanj is the easiest and fastest to reach from the Three Chandeliers. The first serpentine green trail takes hikers to Grunik, which at the end of World War II witnessed fierce battles between partisans and German fascists. From Hrunik, the trail follows the slope of Pregiba to the steep stone Krivanski Chute.
The reward for the hard ascent to the summit is a magnificent panoramic view. A frequently used descent from the summit of Krivani is the trail marked in blue, which leads to Yamsky Plaque. From there, the highway takes you to Podbanský or Štrbský Ples.
