Grúniky (876.5 m a.s.l.) is a quiet, off-the-beaten-path peak in the Kysucká vrchovina highlands of northern Slovakia, rising above the village of Radôstka. With no marked trail leading to its summit, it's a genuine spot for hikers who enjoy a bit of route-finding and solitude.

The sparse, low vegetation on top opens up a full circular view - from here you can spot the surrounding hills of the Kysucká vrchovina, the Kysucké and Moravian-Silesian Beskids, the Javorníky range, and even the Malá Fatra mountains. Grúniky forms part of a ridge running from Čierna Lutiša toward Nocľahy, flanked by peaks like Buganka, Kykula and Černatín to the west. The area feels remote and unspoiled in every season - lush greenery in summer, golden hues in autumn, and a peaceful hush of snow in winter.

• From Stará Bystrica - yellow-marked trail to the nearby peak Nocľahy, then continue along the ridge (unmarked) to Grúniky, moderate difficulty
• From Radôstka or nearby settlements - approach via forest roads and paths, moderate difficulty

• No marked hiking trail leads directly to the summit - reaching it requires navigating forest roads and paths
• The peak lies within the Kysuce Protected Landscape Area

Its untouched character and lack of a marked path make Grúniky a rewarding destination for experienced hikers seeking quiet ridge walks away from crowded trails.
