Dubnik Transmitter, Communication tower in Slanské Hills, Slovakia.

Dubnik Transmitter is a tall steel mast structure in the Slanské Hills that rises to about 318 meters and sits at an elevation of roughly 874 meters. The facility uses a guyed tubular construction system to broadcast radio signals across a wide surrounding area.

The facility was built to distribute radio and television signals across the surrounding regions of Slovakia. This represented a major step forward in telecommunications and improved connections between rural communities.

The mast carries FM and television signals that reach far beyond eastern Slovakia, with overspill into neighbouring countries. Analogue broadcasting of Dvojka and TV Markíza ended in April 2011, Jednotka followed in August 2011, and digital radio (DAB+) began in January 2023.

The location sits in the hills and is surrounded by dense forest, so visitors need to be careful when approaching the site. You should know this is an active telecommunications facility and direct access may be restricted.

The 318-metre guyed tubular steel mast, completed and put into service on 24 February 1961, is the tallest structure in Slovakia. Its design follows that of the Suchá hora transmitter. A separate free-standing steel telecommunications tower stands beside it, and an asphalt road reaches the site from Zámutov, Zlatá Baňa or the former Dubník settlement.
