Ostrá skala, Mountain summit in Žilina District, Slovakia.
Ostrá skala is a mountain summit in the Žilina region of Slovakia, situated within the Carpathian range at 891 meters. The peak features jagged rock outcrops that rise prominently above the surrounding forested slopes.
The summit has long served as a natural landmark and boundary point between neighboring communities in this mountain region. Its prominent shape made it recognizable as a key geographical reference for residents and travelers.
Local mountaineering groups organize regular expeditions to Ostrá skala, maintaining traditions of Slovak mountain climbing throughout the seasons.
The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails that begin from the base of the mountain. The routes work best during warmer months when weather conditions are more favorable for walking.
