About this Stone

Looking for a truly unique stop in the Volovské Vrchy mountains? Don’t miss the legendary Mountain Mailbox! Located right in the heart of the mountain range, this one-of-a-kind spot holds the title of the only official mountain mailbox in the region.
Here is why it’s a must-visit on your trek:
Send a Card: You can send a postcard directly from here to anywhere in the world.
Trail Angel Hospitality: A local trail angel named Bello takes care of the spot, refilling supplies every week.
Refreshment Stop: Right next to the mailbox is a fresh water spring—and if you are lucky, Bello leaves cold beer floating in the water for weary hikers tackling the long-distance SNP Trail.
Loreley Viewpoint: Just a short walk away, you’ll find the stunning Loreley Viewpoint, offering some of the best panoramic views of the entire Volovské Vrchy range.
Whether you’re hiking the main ridge or just looking for a memorable day trip, stop by!
