Devínska Kobyla

Devínska Kobyla rises 514 meters above sea level as the highest point in Bratislava, offering views across Austria, Hungary, and the Danube River.

The summit contains a military missile base constructed between 1979 and 1983 that housed 16 anti-aircraft missiles during the Warsaw Pact period.

The abandoned military structures now attract urban explorers and artists who regularly create new graffiti pieces on the concrete walls of former bunkers.

Access requires a 30-45 minute walk from Dubravka neighborhood along Plachého street to Vojenská Cesta, with parking available near the entrance gate.

The mountain hosts 234 mushroom species, 110 lichen varieties, 100 moss types, and over 1,100 vascular plants within its protected natural reserve.
