Suchý vrch, Mountain summit in Greater Fatra, Slovakia
Suchý vrch is a mountain in the Greater Fatra range in Slovakia that stands at approximately 1550 meters and has bare rock exposed at its peak. The terrain changes as you climb, moving from forested slopes into open alpine areas with rocky outcrops.
This summit served historically as a natural boundary marker separating different regions and territories across Slovakia. Its prominent position shaped settlement patterns and trade routes in the surrounding areas over centuries.
Local mountaineering groups regularly organize guided expeditions to Suchý vrch, teaching participants about Slovak mountain traditions and alpine navigation.
Marked trails to the summit are accessible from several nearby villages, with the climb taking between three and five hours depending on the route chosen. Visitors should prepare for changing mountain weather and bring proper footwear and water for the hike.
From the summit you can see across to both the Greater Fatra and the neighboring Lesser Fatra ranges, revealing how different the rock patterns appear between the two mountain chains. This viewpoint shows the geological structure of the Western Carpathians in a way few other places do.
