From the mining town of Rožňava to Skalisko - the second highest peak in the Volovské vrchy Mountains, which offers a unique panoramic view of the surroundings.
The entire ridge of Skalisko lies in the pine scrub zone. The view from Skalisko is among the most beautiful and valuable in Slovakia. The 10-meter rock cliff at the summit provides a panoramic view of the mountainous part of eastern Slovakia.
Mandatory photo documentation: with the chalet in the background.
Author’s recommendation
The route ends at the Volovec Chalet, but we recommend you hike up to the top of Skalisko, the view is worth it.
If you have the strength, also hike up to the Watch Tower – the landmark of Rožňava, from which visitors have a beautiful view of all the monuments of the historic center of Rožňava, the calvary, and essentially the whole town and the Rožňava Basin.
