Specification
The Vihorlat Mountains are the easternmost Slovak volcanic mountain range. The Vihorlat Protected Landscape Area was declared in 1973. Despite its small area and altitude, Vihorlat is an impressive volcanic mountain range. The dominant rock is andesite. In many places, lava flows emerge to the surface and create rocky cliffs. The Vihorlat Mountains are among the most forested mountain ranges in Slovakia – up to 80% of its area is covered by forest ecosystems. There are also forest stands that are minimally disturbed by humans and have the character of natural forests with a primeval forest structure. The jewel of the mountains is Morské oko, which is one of the largest non-karst lakes in the Carpathians. When viewed from Sninský kameň, it resembles an irregular five-pointed star. The Vihorlat Protected Landscape Area lies at the interface of Pannonian and Carpathian flora. Currently, approximately 400 species of fungi, 60 lichens, 110 bryophytes, and 600 species of higher plants are known in it. The fauna is also species-rich. About 100 species of birds nest here, and its dense forests are inhabited by carnivorous mammals.
