Baské

Baské is a mountain summit in the Strážovské vrchy range with an elevation of about 955 meters and a relatively flat summit area. The slopes descend gradually at first but then drop off steeply on multiple sides to form tall cliffs.

The mountain formed during the Triassic period with significant limestone and dolomite deposits. These rocks remain part of the geological structure of the region and continue to shape the mountain's appearance today.

The summit serves as a gathering place for local hiking clubs and outdoor enthusiasts from the Trenčín Region who regularly meet here. Over time, it has become a destination that brings together people interested in mountain activities.

Several well-marked hiking trails lead to the summit with starting points near Omšenie village in the west and Dolná Poruba in the northeast. The routes vary in difficulty and require appropriate preparation depending on which path you choose.

On clear days, visitors from the summit can see eight different mountain ranges across Slovakia. This exceptional view makes it a special location for panoramic vistas spanning much of the country.
