Volovec Mountains, Mountain range in eastern Slovakia
The Volovec Mountains extend over 70 kilometers in length and 30 kilometers in width, reaching elevations between 800 and 1100 meters throughout the range.
The region contains multiple mining settlements, including Gelnica, Rudňany, and Smolník, which were centers for gold, silver, copper, mercury, and iron extraction.
