Description
Hruba veza is a relatively small pyramid in Eastern High Tatras, creating a division between valleys Svistova dolina and Litvorova dolina. It is situated off any main ridges and in prehistoric times it was probably protruding from the glacier, forming so called nunatak. Name in Polish: Hruba Turnia, in German: Dicker Turm, in Hungarian: Vastagtorony.
