Chleb

Chleb is a mountain peak in the Malá Fatra range standing at approximately 1,650 meters (5,400 feet) and provides panoramic views across the surrounding valleys and ridges. The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails that attract visitors throughout the year.

The peak has served as a natural boundary marker between Martin and Žilina districts since regional divisions were established in Slovakia. This function has shaped its role in the area's geography over time.

Local mountain clubs regularly organize guided tours to Chleb summit during summer months, maintaining traditional Slovak mountaineering practices.

The peak is accessible from Chata pod Chlebom mountain hut via hiking trails that offer rest stops and facilities for visitors. The routes are well-maintained during the warmer months and can be challenging in winter conditions.

In winter months, the peak becomes a backcountry skiing destination with a vertical descent of about 300 meters (1,000 feet) from Hromovské saddle. This seasonal transformation reveals how the mountain serves different purposes throughout the year.
