Ľubovnianska vrchovina

Lublauer Gebirge is a mountain range in eastern Slovakia extending through the District of Bardejov with forested slopes, grassy meadows, and river valleys. Elevations range from 400 to 900 meters, creating a landscape of rolling terrain and open pastures.

This range formed as part of the Carpathian Mountains and became a defining feature of eastern Slovakia's landscape. During the Austro-Hungarian period, the terrain served as a natural barrier between territories.

Shepherds have used these slopes for centuries to graze their flocks, shaping the open meadows you see today. This pastoral way of life remains visible across the upland pastures.

Marked trails provide access from Bardejov and nearby settlements, with summer and early fall offering the most comfortable hiking conditions. The terrain varies from gentle slopes to steeper paths, so plan your route according to your fitness level.

Underground mineral springs flow beneath these mountains and feed the therapeutic waters that supply Bardejovské Kúpele spa town below. This hidden geological gift has attracted visitors seeking wellness for many decades.
