It is one of the five ridge peaks of the Babí hora massif. A hiking trail leads over it to the main peak - Diablak (1725 m a.s.l.). In the past, this area was part of the nearly thousand-year-long Slovak-Polish, or Hungarian-Galician border, when on June 28, 1920, the territory was annexed by the Poles and Czechoslovakia had to cede 27 northern Slovak municipalities to Poland. Along the hiking trail, you can still find fallen boundary stones that were reinstalled during the Slovak State from 1939 to 1945.
