Poľana, Mountain summit in central Slovakia.

The Poľana mountain reaches 1,458 meters above sea level and features dense forests transitioning into open alpine meadows across its slopes.

The mountain formation developed during the Tertiary period as a stratovolcano, becoming officially protected in 1981 as part of the Poľana Protected Landscape Area.

The surrounding municipalities of Hrochoť, Očová, Detva, and Hriňová maintain traditional Slovak mountain lifestyles near the Poľana slopes.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails throughout the protected area, with the main administration center located in the nearby city of Zvolen.

The geological structure of Poľana contains notable rock formations including Veporské skalky, Melichova skala, Kalamárka, and Jánošíkova skala within its boundaries.
