Brestová, Mountain peak in Western Tatras, Slovakia

Brestova rises to an elevation of 1,934 meters, featuring steep slopes and granite formations within the Carpathian mountain system.

The mountain stands as a natural border marker between Slovakia and Poland, serving as a geographical reference point since medieval territorial divisions.
