Havrania Skala

Havrania Skala is a mountain summit in Slovak Paradise National Park featuring distinctive limestone formations across its rocky structure. The peak rises above the surrounding forest, offering views of the park's dramatic landscape with its steep cliffs and forested slopes.

The mountain became a known reference point when Slovak Paradise National Park was established in 1988, incorporating the area under nature protection. Since then it has served as a landmark within a larger conservation effort focused on preserving the geological features of the region.

Local mountaineering groups maintain several climbing routes on Havrania Skala's faces, contributing to Slovakia's rock climbing traditions.

Access to the summit starts from trails near Stratená village, and hikers should expect steep sections that require reasonable fitness. Using the marked routes and allowing several hours for the climb is advisable for most visitors.

The mountain contains a network of small caves scattered throughout its limestone structure at different elevations. These hidden geological features make the site more complex than a typical rocky summit and add geological interest to the climbing experience.
