Veľký Tribeč

Veľký Tribeč is a mountain summit rising to approximately 830 meters, marked by beech forests and open grassy areas at its peak. The mountain extends across two districts and displays different geological formations on its various slopes.

The mountain has been quarried for minerals over many centuries, extracting stone and deposits from its slopes. These mining activities left a lasting mark on the mountain's geology and appearance.

The mountain is known locally as part of a region where residents share stories and legends passed down through generations. These tales shape how people perceive and experience this place today.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit, with the most direct route starting from the village of Kostoľany pod Tribečom. The terrain is well-suited for walkers who follow the marked paths.

The mountain crosses two different administrative districts, offering distinctly different mineral deposits on its various sides. Scientists regularly visit the area to study these geological contrasts.
