Makovica, Mountain summit in Eastern Slovakia

The Makovica peak rises to 989 meters in elevation within the Carpathian Mountains, featuring forest-covered slopes and natural hiking paths throughout the terrain.

The Makovica mountain has served as a geographical reference point for the local communities since medieval times, marking boundaries between different Slovak regions.

The summit holds significance for Slovak mountaineering groups who regularly organize guided expeditions to study local flora and geological formations.

Visitors can access the mountain via marked trails from nearby villages, with the southeastern path offering the most gradual ascent over 4.5 kilometers.

The mountain contains a geological formation where three different rock types intersect, creating specific conditions for rare mountain plants to grow.
