Vetrová skala, Mountain summit on Slovakia-Ukraine border, Sobrance District
Vetrová skala is a mountain summit rising 1024.5 meters above sea level that marks the natural border between Slovakia and Ukraine within the Vihorlat mountain range. The peak sits directly on the state boundary between these two countries.
The mountain served as a boundary marker across centuries of territorial shifts between different kingdoms and modern nations in Eastern Europe. Its location made it a natural reference point for defining borders in the region.
The area around the mountain is shaped by Slovak, Hungarian, and Ukrainian communities whose traditions remain visible today in local customs and the way people use the landscape.
Hiking trails to the summit start from both the Slovak and Ukrainian sides, with the closest supplies and services available in the town of Sobrance. Checking border crossing conditions and preparing appropriate gear beforehand is advisable for either approach.
From the peak, visitors can look into two countries at once while standing at the exact point where Slovak and Ukrainian territories meet. This location makes the summit a rare geographical spot where you can experience two nations simultaneously.
