Jankov vŕšok, Nature reserve in District of Prievidza, Slovakia.
Located in the Strážovské Hills, Jankov vŕšok rises to 533 meters above sea level and contains diverse plant species across its varied terrain.
The protected area was established in 1993 under S CHKO Ponitrie management, marking a significant step in preserving the regional natural heritage.
The hill provides views of historical landmarks including the 13th-century Uhrovec Castle and traditional settlements in the surrounding valleys.
Multiple marked trails guide visitors through the reserve, with informational panels explaining local flora, fauna, and geological formations throughout the paths.
The volcanic origins of Jankov vŕšok created specific microclimates that support xerothermic plant communities found nowhere else in the region.
