Mravečník (992.5 m above sea level) is a peak in the Kysucká Highlands. It is located above the village of Terchová. The peak lies within the protection zone of the Malá Fatra National Park.
The hiking trail begins in the village of Terchová and leads along the blue mark below the Terchovské srdce lookout tower.
The 30-meter-high Terchovské srdce lookout tower is built on Oblaz Hill.
The lookout tower was opened to tourists on October 28, 2015. The author of the design of the lookout tower is the famous folk artist Alojz Mucha. He was inspired by the gallows prop that stood in the same place on Oblaz Hill in 1935 during the filming of the now legendary Jánošík. The name Terchovské srdce is based on the song: “The Terchov heart is divided into two, one side is crying, the other is rejoicing…”
There are 3 terraces on the observation tower, from which we can admire the views, especially of the village of Terchová and the surrounding peaks of Mala Fatra.
