One such centre was near Mirkovce on the top of Mal\u00e1 Zobrana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The peak of Zobran is situated on the western side of the mountain between the villages of Mirkovce and Brestov.\u00a0<strong>Big Zobrana<\/strong>\u00a0has an altitude of 610 metres.\u00a0<strong>Little Zobrana<\/strong>\u00a0It is slightly lower, with its summit at an altitude of 460 metres above sea level. An interesting fact is that the whole of \u0160ari\u0161 was surveyed from this spot. Until recently, an old stone trigonometric pillar served as a reminder of this. At the summit of Mal\u00e1 Zobrana there is a rarity that one does not come across very often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Roughly in the middle of the summit, amongst the rocks, there is an opening leading into the depths of Mal\u00e1 Zoborana. It winds its way down between the rocks towards the stream and emerges from another rock by the stream, which people have named \"Zimn\u00e1 skala\". The opening between the rocks of the massif was used by hermits when danger threatened them. Through this rocky opening, they could reach the village by the Balka stream. This made it easier for them to evade bandits or even members of Arp\u00e1d\u2019s retinue, who would sometimes penetrate this territory. On the summit plateau, there are visible terraces, probably the remains of an ancient settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Wind Hole has been known to locals since time immemorial for the extremely strong draughts that blew outwards in the winter months. It is so strong that it blows out the leaves that we put into the hole. Even in the hot summer, cold air, or draught, penetrates through the aforementioned hole between the rocks. In winter, green plants can be seen around it and all over the summit plateau. The wintering spotted salamanders, which seek out this place with its moist and warm air, are an exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source : KST Pre\u0161ov<br>Photo source: fb-Presov<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":374,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"kategoria-poi":[22],"lokalita":[],"sezona-poi":[30],"class_list":["post-370","poi","type-poi","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","kategoria-poi-prirodne-krasypesia-turistika","sezona-poi-celorocne"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi\/370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/poi"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/poi"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/374"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kategoria-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kategoria-poi?post=370"},{"taxonomy":"lokalita","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lokalita?post=370"},{"taxonomy":"sezona-poi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.slanskevrchy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sezona-poi?post=370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
