Soska is one of those peaks that doesn't shout for attention — a quiet, forested summit along the main ridge of the Policy Range, where the joy lies in the walk itself rather than a postcard view from the top.
The entire summit is covered in forest, though a relatively young one — this area used to be open pastureland. As grazing became economically unviable, the meadows gradually gave way to woodland, turning Soska from an open clearing into a forested hill. It's a spot for hikers who value silence, the scent of the forest, and the rhythm of walking over sweeping panoramas — pleasant shade in summer, vivid colours in autumn, and a hushed stillness in winter that can leave a stronger impression than many a viewpoint.
How to get to the summitInteresting fact: the young forest covering Soska today grew over former pastures, abandoned once grazing stopped paying off.
