This photograph shows the majestic Kriváň mountain in the background, one of the most prominent and well-known peaks of the High Tatras, rising to an elevation of 2,494 meters. Kriváň is characterised by its sharp shape, resembling a bent horn, making it an unmistakable symbol of the High Tatras in Slovakia.

In the foreground, the Belá River flows, meandering through and over boulders in the frosty January weather.

The photograph was taken using a tripod, and since it was already after sunset with low light conditions, there was no need to use an ND filter to extend the exposure time. The location is easily accessible. The path leads from the parking lot, which can be completed in approximately 30 minutes. Mount Kriváň is beautiful and photogenic in every season.
