Hoblík

Hoblík is a mountain peak in the Little Fatra region standing at 934 meters high, with rocky cliffs along its southeastern slopes. The summit contains several caves, including the notable Hoblík Cave measuring about 38 meters deep near the village of Višňové.

Mining operations extracted dolomite from the western slopes during earlier periods. These activities shaped the geological structure visible on the mountain today.

Local hikers and climbers visit the summit for its caves and forest trails through the region. The mountain is part of the landscape where outdoor activities connect people to the natural world around them.

The easiest route starts from the village of Višňové, following forest paths through wooded terrain toward the summit. Sturdy footwear and preparation for woodland walking are advised, particularly if you plan to explore the caves.

Two climbing routes were established here for training military and rescue personnel, making the mountain a specialized training ground. These secured paths allow visitors to practice climbing safely in a controlled setting.
