Suchý vrch, Mountain peak in Veľká Fatra, Slovakia.
Suchý vrch is a mountain peak in the Veľká Fatra range that rises to 1550 meters above sea level. From the summit, you can see across the surrounding districts of Martin and Ružomberok in all directions.
The mountain sits in a region where archeological finds show human settlements reached back several centuries into the past. This area reflects a long story of people living in Slovak territories over time.
The mountain holds traditional significance for local communities who celebrate seasonal festivals and maintain hiking traditions through its marked pathways.
You can reach the summit by following hiking trails that start from both the Martin and Ružomberok districts. In winter months from December through March, the slopes become snowy and icy, so proper gear is necessary.
The mountain sits exactly at the border between two administrative districts, giving it entry points and trails from completely different directions. This position creates separate hiking experiences depending on which district side you approach from.
