Sľubica

Sľubica is a mountain summit in the Branisko range that reaches approximately 1129 meters (3704 feet) and sits within dense forest terrain. Multiple marked paths wind through the landscape, connecting different starting points to the peak.

The mountain has functioned as a natural landmark and boundary marker since medieval times, helping travelers navigate the Spišská Nová Ves region. This geographic role shaped how settlements developed across the surrounding area.

The mountain holds a place in the lives of nearby villagers, who walk its paths during the warmer months and see the landscape as part of their connection to the region. This bond with the land shapes how locals understand their surroundings and pass down knowledge about the area.

The summit is reachable from spring through autumn using clearly marked paths, with the northern route providing a gentler climb for those starting out. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and water, as trails can become slippery depending on recent weather.

Natural springs bubble up from several points along the mountain's slopes, creating a network of small streams throughout the area. These water sources are most noticeable in spring when water flow is at its highest.
