Dubník, Mountain summit in Prešov District, Slovakia.

Located within the Slanské vrchy range, Dubník reaches an elevation of 874 meters and contains multiple mineral deposits across its slopes.

The mountain gained recognition in the 16th century when miners discovered substantial opal deposits, leading to extensive mining operations until 1922.

The mountain holds importance in Slovak geology education as students and researchers frequently visit to study the mineral formations and volcanic rocks.

Visitors can access the mountain through marked hiking trails, with the primary route starting from the nearby village of Červenica.

The mountain contains Europe's oldest opal mines, where a 594-gram precious opal, the largest found on the continent, was discovered in 1670.
