Zvolen, Mountain peak in Ružomberok District, Slovakia.
Description
Zvolen is a mountain peak in the Greater Fatra range with an elevation around 1,400 meters. Its slopes are heavily forested with steep terrain throughout.
History
The mountain sits in a region that developed significantly after the Kassa Oderberg Railway opened in 1871. This rail connection made the area more accessible and encouraged exploration of the surrounding peaks.
Culture
The slopes attract hikers and climbers who follow well-worn paths linking villages below. These routes represent a deep connection between local communities and the surrounding mountains.
Practical
Several marked trails lead to the summit, with the most direct route starting from the nearby town of Ruzomberok. Bring sturdy footwear and water, as the paths are steep and wooded throughout.
Did you know?
The summit sits right on the boundary between two administrative districts: Ruzomberok and Banska Bystrica. This makes it a natural meeting point for hikers coming from both regions.
