It is the highest andesite wall in Slovakia and the second-biggest climbing locality after the Tatras. The wall is accessible from Kamenec pod Vtáčnikom or Bystričany in Trenčín Region, which is possible to discover with our Trenčín travel guide.
When climbing to the top, where a pagan fortification used to stand centuries ago, climbers may use about 80 routes of varying difficulty.
