Vrch Hrb sa považuje za geografický stred Slovenska. Má výšku 1256 m. Vrchol Hrbu tvorí impozantné, miestami až 40 metrov vysoké skalné bralo, ktoré ponúka výhľady na všetky svetové strany (okrem juhu): na západnú časť hrebeňa Nízkych Tatier od Prašivej až po Ďumbier. Za dobrej viditeľnosti možno zazrieť až Kráľovu hoľu a cez nízkotatranský hrebeň aj najvyššie štíty Vysokých Tatier. Výhľadom na západ a severozápad dominujú vrcholy Veľkej Fatry, Kremnických vrchov a Vtáčnika.
