Historically this range was shaped by mining operations that extracted minerals from the rock formations. The traces of these past activities remain visible in the landscape today.
The local villages in and around this range practice sheep herding and make regional cheeses that connect people to the mountain environment and its traditions.
Marked hiking paths connect different trail networks, with the town of Detva as the main access point for mountain outings. Conditions on the paths vary with weather and season.
The mix of forested slopes and open mountain meadows creates different microclimates that support various plant species found here. These different zones shape both the natural environment and the hiking experience.
