Suchý

Suchý is a mountain summit in the Malá Fatra range at 1,468 meters elevation, covered in dense forests throughout. Multiple marked hiking routes cross through this terrain in the Žilina District.

The mountain was developed as a hiking destination during the 20th century when Slovak tourism organizations marked the main routes. This infrastructure transformed the area into a popular climbing destination.

Local mountaineering traditions include annual gatherings at Chata pod Suchým mountain hut, where visitors share experiences and regional mountain folklore.

The main approach starts from Turčianske Kľačany following clearly marked paths that take several hours to ascend. Two mountain shelters along the route serve as landmarks and resting points for hikers.

The mountain path incorporates an elevation gain of 1,108 meters, leading through two mountain shelters that remain open throughout all seasons.
