Inovec

Inovec is a mountain in the Western Carpathians that reaches 1042 meters at its summit. The range includes forests, meadows, and several established trails that connect different parts of the massif.

Archaeological sites around the mountain show evidence of settlement from medieval times, with hill forts and fortified structures once standing in the area. These remains indicate that people have occupied the region for centuries.

The surrounding villages depend on the mountain for farming and forestry, practices that shape how locals live and work year-round. You will see this connection reflected in how people use the slopes and forests as part of their daily routines.

The mountain is accessible by marked hiking trails from various starting points, with routes of different difficulty levels available. A mountain hut located at around 800 meters provides lodging and serves as a useful stop along the way to the summit.

The summit features a meteorological station and observation tower that offers views across two major river valleys below. From this vantage point, visitors can see the Váh and Nitra river basins stretching out across the landscape.
