Kojšovská hoľa

Zlatá Idka –

Kojšovská hoľa, with an altitude of 1,225.7 m above sea level, is the highest peak of the Kojšovská hoľa sub-subunit, in the area of Slovenské rudohorie within Volovské vrchy. It is also the highest point of the entire Košice-okolie district. The peak is located approximately 16 km west of Košice, between the villages of Kojšov, Opátka, Prakovce, and Zlatá Idka. Tourists visit it year-round. It is used for hiking as well as for sports and recreation.

In summer, the peak is very attractive for tourists. It features a beautiful natural scenery overgrown with heather, cranberry and bilberry bushes, raspberries, and wild strawberries. You can also pick various mushrooms and medicinal plants. But beware, many of the plants you will find here are protected; please only look at them and enjoy their beauty. The red-marked Cesta hrdinov SNP trail passes through here. Together with Zlatoidská hora, Kojšovská hoľa forms a very popular hiking duo-combination. Tourists even say that one of the best views from Volovské vrchy is from here. The view of the Tatras is simply unique. Especially at the beginning of winter, when their snow-dusted peaks contrast sharply with the still brown-and-green rounded hills down below them. In the distance, you will also see into Poland, Hungary, and Ukraine.

In winter, Kojšovská hoľa transforms into a skiing paradise. The Kojšovská hoľa – Skipark Erika ski resort is a great space for skiers and snowboarders to enjoy themselves. The resort is accessible by cable car, and high-quality cross-country ski trails also lead through the surroundings. On the way to the peak, you will certainly also encounter ski mountaineers or ski touring enthusiasts. And feel free to build a snowman here too, because winter should be about the joy of snow.

An observatory of the Slovenský meteorologický ústav is located at the peak of Kojšovská hoľa. Right next to it stands a bronze commemorative plaque from 1981 bearing the inscription "česť a sláva hrdinom SNP". Likewise, you will find a box with a summit register here, and about 200 m further on, 49 peace poles with the inscription "nech je mier na Slovensku". They have stood here since 1997 as a symbol of peace in Europe. Slovakia received them as a gift from a Japanese company. You will also see a SNP monument along with an anti-tank gun here since 1999.

Several different routes lead to the peak. You can get here from Gelnica, Kojšov, and Zlatá Idka along the blue trail. You can get to Kojšovská hoľa from the village of Prakovce along the yellow trail. Calculate your hiking time to be approximately 3 hours; in summer, we naturally also recommend sitting down on the sunny peak. So that you do not have to rush home for the hike or from it, book accommodation near the Kojšovská hoľa peak. Try it, for example, on the accommodation Kojšov or accommodation Košice page. You will surely find one that will be just right for you.
