Okrúhlica (1,076 m a.s.l.) is the westernmost peak of the Oravská Magura range — a quiet, forested summit that rewards visitors with surprisingly wide-reaching views. Sitting at the meeting point of three districts, it feels like a true geographical crossroads.
The mountain is mostly cloaked in forest, but clearings open up panoramas that punch well above the summit's modest elevation. From here you can take in the entire Zázrivá Valley, almost the full border ridge of the Kysuce and Orava Beskids from Veľká Rača all the way to Babia hora, and on clear days the distant silhouettes of Veľký Choč, the Veľká and Nízke Tatry, the Western Tatras and even the Moravian-Silesian Beskids to the west. The peak sits on a ridge running between Čierna Lutiša and Paráč, and the lower hills of the Kysuce Upland in the foreground keep the skyline refreshingly open.
How to reach the summitAs the westernmost tip of the Oravská Magura, Okrúhlica stands at the very edge of the range — a small summit with a big outlook in every sense of the word.
