Makyta, Mountain summit on the Czech-Slovak border, Javorníky Mountains

Makyta is a summit reaching 923.3 m on the Czech-Slovak border, the highest and most massive peak of the western Javorníky. Its slopes carry old fir-beech forest with natural regeneration, and the summit lies in the first zone of the Beskydy and Kysuce protected landscape areas. A wooden shelter and summit book stand at the trail junction.

Makyta lies on the Czech-Slovak border, where the watershed between the Morava and Váh rivers runs across the summit. The Senice river rises at 840 m on the Moravian side below the peak, while Beňadín and Tisovský potok drain the southeastern slopes into the Biela voda and the Váh. The summit is the 4th stop of the Javorníky - západ educational trail.

The summit is the fourth stop on the Javorníky – západ educational trail and holds a summit book for visitors to sign. The Slovak clothing company Makyta Púchov took its name from this peak. A wooden shelter stands at the trail junction on top.

Hikers should bring weather-appropriate clothing and sturdy footwear, as trails can become slippery during rain or damp conditions. It is wise to check local conditions before starting and to plan descents carefully if weather changes suddenly.

Makyta gave its name to the Slovak clothing company Makyta Púchov. The summit also holds the 4th stop of the Javorníky – západ educational trail, a wooden shelter for hikers and a summit book; the wooden lookout tower that once stood here was destroyed, so the view is now limited.
