Malý Grič, Mountain summit in Prievidza District, Slovakia.
Malý Grič is a 876-meter peak in the Vtáčnik mountain range with mixed forests and rocky formations on its eastern side. The landscape changes with elevation, creating varied woodland habitats across the slopes.
The peak marks a natural boundary in the northern Vtáčnik range between administrative regions. This strategic location has shaped the mountain's importance to local geography for generations.
Local hiking groups regularly organize trips here, sharing knowledge about the mountain's geology and the animals that live in these forests.
Marked trails lead to the summit from the east near Handlová and from the west via Tri Studničky from Prievidza. Accessibility varies depending on the season and weather, so it is worth checking conditions before heading out.
On clear days the summit offers views of the Handlová Basin, the Žiar Mountains, and western sections of the Kremnica Mountains. These views make it popular with photographers and nature observers.
