Úhornianske sedlo

Úhornianske sedlo (999 m) is a wide, grassy mountain saddle in the Volovské vrchy range of eastern Slovakia, perched on the quiet frontier between the historic regions of Spiš and Gemer. Best known as a trailhead and road-crossing rather than a dramatic summit, it earns a high visitor rating for one simple reason: at almost a thousand metres of altitude, you can pull over, park, and step straight onto ridgeline trails without first grinding up hundreds of metres of climb. Set between the Panský vrch (1,058 m) and Malá Pipitka (1,087 m) peaks, the saddle opens onto broad views across beech forest and rolling ridge, and serves as a launching point for some of the finest walks in the range. Whether you come on foot, by bike or even on cross-country skis, it is an easy, rewarding day-out destination that the crowds have largely overlooked.
