Hiadeľské sedlo

Hiadeľské sedlo (1099 m) is a part of the official border of the Low Tatras National Park. It´s located on the main ridge of Low Tatras between „Kozí chrbát" (1330 m) and Prašivá (1652 m). It connects Hiadeľ with Korytnica valley and separates Starohorské hills in the west from Ďumbierske Tatras in the east.
On Hiadeľské sedlo stands a wooden shelter (built in August 2008) and a few meters below it there is a little natural spring with clear and fresh water. The wooden structure has open walls (covered only at the bottom), an internal fire pit, place to sit and a table.
