The Čergov (outdated name Čerchov ) is a mountain range in north-eastern Slovakia . A small part is on Polish territory ( Góry Czerchowskie ).
The mountains belong to the Outer Western Carpathians and are counted within this to the Beskids , whereby according to the different nomenclature in Poland they are assigned to the West Beskids and in Slovakia to the East Beskids.
The Čergov is limited
- in the north of the Beskid Sądecki (Sandezer Beskids) and the ubovnianska vrchovina mountains ,
- in the east of the Ondavská vrchovina ,
- in the south and west of the Spišsko-šarišské medzihorie mountains .
It has an area of about 30 × 20 km. The main ridge runs from northwest to southeast. The highest peak is the Minčol ( 1157 m nm ).
The Čergov is characterized by dense deciduous forests , with beech and maple dominating. Characteristically, many ridge sections are unforested over a width of approx. 50 - 100 meters due to grazing.
The relative remoteness of the region favored the partial preservation of folk culture and architecture.
