Bralová skala, Mountain peak in Prievidza District, Slovakia.
Bralová skala is a peak in the Žiar Mountains rising to 826 meters, marked by steep rock faces and a transmission station at its summit. The formation consists of distinct stone walls crossed by marked hiking paths that connect different regions.
During the Slovak National Uprising, this peak served as a strategic observation post for regional defense efforts. After the war, it became integrated into a hiking network that honors those events.
Local climbers have established several routes on the rock faces, which today serve climbers and hikers exploring the area. The rock formation draws people who want to test themselves against the stone.
A yellow-marked trail from the Remata recreational area leads through forest paths to the summit, taking about 50 minutes to hike. The route is well-marked and suitable for hikers with basic mountain experience.
A three-kilometer railway tunnel runs directly beneath the mountain, connecting the regions of Horná Nitra and Turčianska underground. This hidden transportation link shows how modern infrastructure passes beneath the natural landscape.
