Veľký Choč, Mountain summit in Liptov region, Slovakia
The asymmetrical limestone peak of Veľký Choč rises to 1611 meters, featuring steep cliffs on its eastern face and dense spruce forests below.
The mountain served as a crucial navigation point along the trade route connecting the Danube basin to the Baltic Sea during medieval times.
The mountain appeared on the reverse side of the Czechoslovak ten-crown banknote in 1986, reflecting its national significance.
Multiple marked trails lead to the summit from Ružomberok, with the ascent taking approximately three and a half hours from the Valaská Dubová trailhead.
Two unmanned refuge shelters on the mountain contain logbooks and a compass rose indicating the locations of surrounding mountain ranges.
