About this Stone
This hill rises to 587 meters above sea level and offers stunning views over the surrounding landscape. It is part of the Tribeč mountain range and a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. The area is rich in history, with the ruins of a monastery—one of Slovakia’s oldest—dating back to the 9th century. It was also once home to a sanatorium in the early 20th century, where patients with respiratory diseases were treated using fresh mountain air and heliotherapy, or sunlight treatment. The combination of natural beauty, mountain access, and layers of historical significance makes this a compelling spot for visitors drawn to both outdoor adventure and cultural heritage.
