Hiking and Trails

The Zemplínske Hámre Tourist Information Centre provides information about hiking and cycling trails as well as Poloniny National Park. It is located near the quarry at the beginning of the main trails to Sninský kameň and Vihorlat; a free car park is available there for visitors.

The hiking trail from Zemplínske Hámre to Sninský kameň begins at the car park by the quarry and follows a yellow-marked hiking trail to the Tri tably saddle. From the Tri tably saddle, a red-marked hiking trail leads to the summit plateaus of Sninský kameň; both plateaus can be reached via iron ladders.

Ranč pod Sninským kameňom offers horse-riding activities for all ages and experience levels, including rides along forest paths and through meadows with views of the Vihorlat Mountains.

Culture and History

The Múzeum Zemplínske Hámre presents two permanent exhibitions: one on the history of mining and iron processing in the Vihorlat Mountains, and an ethnographic exhibition on the folk architecture, agriculture, crafts, and folk costumes of the inhabitants of the Josefsthal settlement. The museum is located in the oldest building in the municipality, a stone building from the early 19th century that originally served as accommodation for the management of the ironworks.

Sninský kaštieľ offers a cultural programme with exhibitions, concerts, and other events, as well as a permanent exhibition on the art and history of the region. The Classicist kaštieľ in Snina was completed by Jozef Rholl in 1800.

A bell tower dating from the second half of the 17th century stands beside the church in Topoľa. The iconostasis dates from the mid-18th century and includes several icons from the 17th century. The church in Uličské Krivé has a Baroque iconostasis from the 18th century; some icons date from the 16th century.
