Vihorlat Mountains, Volcanic mountain range in eastern Slovakia.

The Vihorlat Mountains extend across 55 kilometers with elevations ranging from 400 to 1,076 meters, featuring dense beech forests and volcanic formations.

The mountain range formed during the Neogene period, with volcanic activity completing its formation approximately 9 million years ago in the Eastern Carpathians.

The name Vihorlat originates from Ruthenian language, referring to burned mountain places, reflecting the geological history of this volcanic formation.

Visitors can explore designated blue, red, and green hiking trails connecting major points like Sninske Ponds and Morske oko lake.

Kyjovský prales, a UNESCO World Heritage forest within these mountains, maintains undisturbed ecological patterns and houses 2,000 invertebrate species.
