Urpín, Mountain summit in Banská Bystrica, Slovakia.
Located on the left bank of the Hron River, Urpín rises 510 meters above sea level and provides views extending to Zvolen and Low Tatras mountains.
In 1587, a defensive watchtower was constructed on Urpín's summit to protect Banská Bystrica from Ottoman Empire advances through an early warning system.
The mountain houses the Calvary church from 1713, established by Jesuits as a pilgrimage destination with multiple shrines decorating the path to its entrance.
Multiple hiking trails start from Banská Bystrica's center, offering a 6.63-kilometer circuit with 226 meters of elevation gain through forested slopes.
The protected area contains 35 endangered animal species and approximately 280 spider species within its 5.02 hectares of natural preserve.
