Skalka, Mountain summit in Kremnica Mountains, Slovakia
Skalka is a mountain in the Kremnica range that spans across the Banská Bystrica and Žiar nad Hronom districts. The summit provides views over the surrounding forested slopes and valleys of the Carpathians.
The mountain gained prominence in the 1950s when geologists discovered substantial uranium deposits within its rock formations. These findings made it a center of mineral research in the region.
Local communities maintain strong connections to outdoor activities through established hiking networks that connect multiple settlements surrounding the mountain.
Marked trails lead to the summit from the Srdiečko access point, which offers gondola service for easier ascent. Routes vary in length and difficulty, connecting different starting points around the base.
The rock formations contain rare uranium minerals such as metatorbernite and sabugalit that attract geoscientists from around the world. These mineral characteristics make it a site of international scientific interest.
