Lomnický štít (Lomnický peak) is one of the highest and most visited mountain peaks in the High Tatras mountains, in Slovakia. Connected by cable car [http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp906/html/MarcinMroz.html] to Tatranská Lomnica, its summit is 2634 metres above sea level, making it the second highest peak in the High Tatras after the Gerlachov Peak.

The first ascent was made by local shoemaker and amateur miner Štefan Fábry around years 1760-1790, but the first recorded ascent was made by the English traveller Robert Townson with guide on 16 August 1793 and he measured almost precisely the elevation of the peak (2633 m). The first winter ascent was made in 1891.

In the past, Lomnický štít was called "Dedo" ("Grandpa"). Before the 19th century, the peak was also thought to be highest of all.

Since 1940, tourists can reach the peak by the cable car, which was the most modern in Europe at the time of opening, but are allowed to stay on the peak only for 50 minutes. The cable car system is normally closed in the month of May for annual maintenance. It is also possible to climb the peak from Lomnický saddle, but it is only permitted with mountain guide.
