Nature Reserve Dubová Hora

In the south-western part of the village Okružná you will find the beautiful nature reserve Dubová Hora, which was declared in 1983 as the 5th level of protection. It is an area suitable for phytocenological purposes as a unique educational object, where you will find The rock complex of Djad - a natural rock formation on the south side of Dubova Hora. It consists of two dominant large rock cliffs, one below the hiking trail, the other higher above it, which also has a rock window. The name Džad comes from the original name Diad, i.e. Dedo, Dad. The bottom of the rock window situated above is about 6 m long and 3.5 m deep.
Natural rock formation Mohylky is located on the top of the hill of the same name, situated on the northernmost ridge of the Slanské Hills, southeast of Okružná. It has an altitude of 817.4 m. The top massif of Mohyliek has the shape of an elongated pyramid.
Natural formation Stone face is located at the end of the side ridge that rises northeast from the top of Mohyliek. It is at the northern end of the ridge, so it is actually a natural rock formation, the transformed face of a lava flow. Weathering, weathering conditions, together with the natural characteristics of the rock subject to these changes, have created a unique relief that resembles the features of a human face. These features (eyes, nose, mouth...) in their combination really do resemble a human face, as if carved in stone, with the contribution of imagination and imagery.
