Sivá Brada, National nature reserve in Levoča District, Slovakia
The reserve features a 25-meter-high travertine hill formed by continuous mineralized water rising from underground, creating calcium carbonate deposits.
The area received protection status in 2004, following recognition of its geological formations and mineral springs that have developed over thousands of years.
The baroque Chapel of St. Cross, constructed in 1675, stands on the hill as a religious monument amid the natural landscape.
Marked hiking trails connect Sivá Brada with neighboring sites, including Spišský salaš, Spišská Kapitula, and the medieval Spiš Castle.
The location contains active mineral springs that release carbon dioxide, forming bubbling pools within the travertine formations.
