Malý Javorník

Malý Javorník is a mountain summit in the Javorníky range, located where Slovakia and the Czech Republic meet. The peak sits at 1021 meters and is surrounded by thick forest with marked trails leading through the terrain.

The mountain became a natural border between the two countries following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993. Since then, the area has served as a meeting point between Slovak and Czech communities with long-standing ties.

The mountain serves as a meeting point for Slovak and Czech hiking communities, fostering cross-border recreational activities throughout the seasons.

Several marked trails lead to the summit from different starting points like Ráztoka and Podjavorník, accessible throughout the year. The routes are suitable for hikers of varying abilities and the paths are generally well maintained.

A protected forest reserve spreads across the southern slopes, revealing the diverse plant life of this mountain region. This nature area allows visitors to encounter rare woodland ecosystems while hiking through the terrain.
