Turniská, Murovaná skala

On the southern slope of a large limestone ridge called Murovaná skala lies a captivating rock town with massive, often more than 30 meters high rock towers, needles and other interesting formations.

The locality, aptly called Turniská (or also Turne), belongs to the biggest natural attractions of the Volovské vrchy. It is popular not only by tourists, but also by rock climbers, who have more than 70 different routes here.

Paradoxically, the most famous formation of Turnísk is not a turn, but the Klenba rock gate . With a height of approximately 10 m, it represents the largest formation of its kind in eastern Slovakia. Below Klenba there is a rest area with a modified fireplace.

There are limited views of the surrounding area from several places in the area. The tours are accessible along a yellow marked hiking trail from the village of Kojšov. Those interested in visiting them are offered the possibility of a sightseeing tour through the Zemičky saddle, with a possible turn to Folkmarská skala. The Folkmarská and Murovaná skala Nature Trails run parallel to the route, but they do not return to Kojšov, but continue from Folkmarská skála to the village of Veľký Folkmar.
