Barwinkowa Góra (721 m), also called Barwinkowa, is a peak in the main ridge of the Spišské Pieniny, east of the Prze¾la Pass. It is covered with forest, but there are open areas on parts of the southern slopes and at the top, offering views of the Tatras and Zamagurze. The name of the mountain is derived from the common periwinkle plant, which occurs here in quite large numbers.
Hiking trail
The hiking trail does not go directly over the top of Dyer Mountain, but through its northern slopes. On the eastern side of the peak, there is a shallow pass (691 m) where various forest paths cross.
Other peaks
On the northern slope of Dyer Mountain falls the peak of Slipce (Slepcha), separated from the main summit by a wide ravine.
Plant name
The common periwinkle plant, after which the mountain is named, is found here in quite large numbers, being a rarity in other parts of the Pieniny.
