Poľana, Extinct volcano in District of Brezno, Slovakia.
Poľana rises to 1,458 meters above sea level, forming the largest volcanic mountain in Slovakia with diverse geological formations and mineral deposits.
The volcanic structure dates back millions of years, when its peak reached approximately four thousand meters before natural erosion shaped its current form.
