Čierna hora

Čierna hora, Mountain summit in Kežmarok District, Slovakia

Čierna hora is a mountain summit reaching 1,289 meters (4,229 feet) and stands as the highest peak of the Levoča Mountains in northeastern Slovakia. Dense coniferous forest covers the slopes and several ridges surround the mountain.

The mountain area once served as a military training ground called Javorina before being decommissioned. Partially preserved military roads remain scattered across the terrain, marking this earlier use.

The name Čierna hora means Black Mountain, a common Slovak toponym for forested peaks. The summit lies on the cadastral boundary of Jakubany and Lomnička, and the ridge above the tree line lets walkers see the Belianske Tatras and part of the High Tatras.

No marked trail leads to the summit; the easiest ascent starts in Nižné Ružbachy on a red-marked path with a detour over the Ihla peak. The summit lies within the Javorina military training area, so access can be restricted. The mountain sits about 6 km east of Ihľany and 12 km south of Stará Ľubovňa.

The summit lies inside the Javorina military training area, which belongs to the Slovak army, so access can be restricted. The easiest ascent starts at Nižné Ružbachy on a red-marked path with a detour over the Ihla peak. The ridge up to Ihla opens views of the Belianske Tatras and part of the High Tatras.
