It lies at an altitude of approximately 975 metres and is one of the most interesting natural and scenic spots in the Spi\u0161 and \u0160ari\u0161 regions. Thanks to its location, rocky terrain and views stretching across the wider countryside, it is a popular destination for tourists seeking peaceful spots in the countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The rocky crag and its name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelen\u00e1 skala is composed of limestone, which forms a striking rock formation rising above the surrounding woodland. Its name derives from the green moss that covers part of the rock. The cliff itself, together with the surrounding forest, creates a distinctive natural landscape that changes with the seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site was opened to the public in 2006, when local enthusiasts from Vy\u0161n\u00fd Slavkov restored it and cleared it of dense vegetation. Today, visitors to the viewpoint will also find a bench there, offering a place to rest and enjoy the surrounding countryside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Views of Spi\u0161 and the surrounding mountain ranges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the main attractions of Zelen\u00e1 skala is the views over the Spi\u0161 region and the surrounding mountain ranges. On a clear day, you can see Spi\u0161 Castle, the Siho\u0165 plateau and the distant hills. Under favourable conditions, the High Tatras and the surrounding mountain ranges can also be seen on the horizon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spot has a special atmosphere at sunset, when the sun\u2019s rays illuminate the surrounding countryside. Thanks to its views and peaceful setting, Zelen\u00e1 skala is an ideal place for a short break during a hike or for taking photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking in the Branisko Mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A signposted footpath leads to Zelen\u00e1 skala from the village of Vy\u0161n\u00fd Slavkov. The ascent takes you through woodland and gradually climbs towards the rocky outcrop. Zelen\u00e1 skala can be the destination of a standalone hike, or a stop-off on a longer route heading towards Smrekovica, the highest peak in the Branisko range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The surrounding area offers opportunities for further hiking trips and exploring the mountain range\u2019s natural nooks and crannies. Zelen\u00e1 skala is ideal for visitors who wish to combine outdoor activities with beautiful views and a break away from the hustle and bustle of tourist centres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: OOCR R\u0160<br>Source of photographs: OOCR R\u0160<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":6511,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"kategoria-poi":[100,102,174,107],"lokalita":[27],"sezona-poi":[12],"trvanie-vyletu":[114],"class_list":["post-6510","prirodne-krasy","type-prirodne-krasy","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-poi-pre-rodiny","kategoria-poi-prirodne-krasy","kategoria-poi-prirodne-zaujimavosti","kategoria-poi-turistika","lokalita-sabinov-a-okolie","sezona-poi-celorocne","trvanie-vyletu-celodenne-vylety"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prirodne-krasy\/6510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prirodne-krasy"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/prirodne-krasy"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6511"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-poi?post=6510"},{"taxonomy":"lokalita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokalita?post=6510"},{"taxonomy":"sezona-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sezona-poi?post=6510"},{"taxonomy":"trvanie-vyletu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.regionsaris.sk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/trvanie-vyletu?post=6510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
