Velká Javořina, Mountain summit in White Carpathians, Slovakia

Velká Javořina rises to 970 meters (3,182 ft) and marks the highest point of the White Carpathians, a range spanning between Slovakia and Czech territory. The summit can be reached by multiple hiking trails, with clear visibility across the surrounding mountain landscape from the top.

The summit area became part of the Javorina national nature reserve, and in 1988 a nature reserve of 82.98 hectares was declared on the Slovak side. Since 2008, 165 hectares of forest on Javořina have been left without any intervention, effectively a primeval forest. The summit also carries a transmitter about 135 metres tall, whose land has lain entirely on the Slovak side since 25 July 1997.

A stone at the summit bears the inscription "Tu bratia vždy sa stretať budú" (Here brothers will always meet). Since 1990 the summit has hosted the annual summer Slavnosti bratrství Čechů a Slováků, continuing gatherings begun by Štúr's followers and Moravian and Czech enlighteners in the 19th century.

Two asphalt roads reach the summit: one from Lubina on the Slovak side and one from the Moravian settlement of Vápenky. Marked trails also arrive via the red Cesta hrdinov SNP ridge route, the yellow trail from Stará Turá and the blue trail from Nová Lhota. Holubyho chata, a publicly accessible lodge, stands just below the top.

The summit transmitter, about 135 metres tall, once straddled the border; since 25 July 1997 its grounds lie entirely on the Slovak side. Look for the stone near the top inscribed "Tu bratia vždy sa stretať budú" (Here brothers will always meet).
