Veľká Chochuľa

Veľká Chochuľa rises 1,753 meters above sea level, forming the highest peak of the western Ďumbierske Tatry mountain range in the Low Tatras.

The mountain ridge incorporates the Path of Heroes, which commemorates the Slovak National Uprising through a marked trail system established in the region.

The mountain area connects to Korytnica, known since the 17th century for mineral springs containing calcium, magnesium, and iron used for therapeutic purposes.

Hikers can access the summit via a T2 trail from Korytnica, covering 24 kilometers with a 1,302-meter elevation gain over approximately 7.5 hours.

The mountain environment transitions from beech-fir forests through dwarf pine zones to alpine meadows containing Carpathian Harebell and Trumpet Gentian species.
