The mountain was first recorded in documents dating to 1615, when it was also called White Rock or Snow Peak. These historical names reflect how the location was understood in the local geography of that era.
The mountain serves as a natural gathering point where hikers from surrounding areas meet along its various routes. These pathways weave through different valleys, creating meeting places for visitors of all skill levels.
The surrounding area features a well-developed network of marked trails that can be accessed from various starting points around the mountain. Depending on which route you choose, plan for hiking times between two and four hours.
Beneath the surface lies an underground cave system containing around 62 documented caves with passages totaling more than 1000 meters in length. The most famous is the Well in Sivý vrch, a 250-meter-deep shaft that descends into darkness below the peak.
