Kriváň (peak)
Kriváň () is a mountain in the High Tatras, Slovakia, that dominates the upper part of the former Liptov County. Multiple surveys among nature lovers have ranked it as the country's most beautiful peak. Readily accessible along maintained marked trails and with the exceptional vistas afforded from its summit, it is the hikers' favorite mountain in the western part of the High Tatras. Kriváň has also been a major symbol in Slovak ethnic and national activism for the past two centuries. It has been referenced in works of art from 19th-century literature, through paintings, film documentaries, to a Polish rock track. A country-wide vote in 2005 selected it to be one of the images on Slovakia's euro coins.
==Name==
The name Kriváň, first recorded as ''Kriwan'' in 1639, is derived from the root ''kriv-'' meaning "bent" or "crooked" (the words do not have the secondary negative meanings of their English equivalents). It reflects the angled appearance of its shape when viewed from the west and south, characterized in the work from 1639 as an "oxtail" (''cauda bubula'' in the Latin original).〔David Frölich, ''Medulla Geographiae Practicae, Peregrinantium inprimis usui, deinde Historiarum & rerum hoc tempore bellicosissimo gestarum...'' 1639; referenced in several works including: Ivan Bohuš, Alojz Lutonský and Ján Olejník, ''Kriváň.'' 1968.〕 The Slovak name is used in other languages including in Polish, rather than its potential Polonized version (''Krzywań''), except occasionally in Podhale in the immediate vicinity of the Tatras.〔
Two adjacent peaks in the nearby Malá Fatra range carry the same name, and so does the village of Kriváň farther away in southern Slovakia.
