Kozol

Kozol is a mountain summit in the Little Fatra range standing at 1119 meters with distinctive rock outcrops and thick forest vegetation throughout its slopes. The terrain features the characteristic geology of this mountain region, shaped by natural processes over countless ages.

The mountain area contains archaeological traces of ancient settlements indicating human activity in the region for thousands of years. These remains show that people used this mountain landscape in early historical periods.

Local mountaineering clubs established in the early 1900s made Kozol a destination for systematic exploration and outdoor activities.

Marked hiking paths connect the mountain to nearby villages and help visitors find their way up and down. Winter travel from December through March requires additional gear due to snow and ice on the routes.

The summit sits at the meeting point of multiple hiking routes creating natural viewing spots toward both the eastern and western sections of Little Fatra. This central position allows hikers to observe different parts of the mountain range in various directions.
