Makyta (German: Makita ) is the highest and most massive peak in the western part of the Javorník Mountains on the border between the Czech Republic and Slovakia . It is located on the cadastre of the municipalities of Valašská Senice and Huslenky in Okres Vsetín , Zlínský kraj and Lazy pod Makytou and Lysá pod Makytou in Okres Púchov in Trenčiansky kraj .
On the mountain, the watershed runs between the March and the Waag . The Senice River rises on the south-western slope at an altitude of 840 m nm and drains into the Vsetínská Bečva and further into the March. Streams that arise in the southeast of the summit flow over the Biela voda into the Waag.
Access and Infrastructure
On Makyta there is a crossroad of marked tourist trails, the fourth station of the Javorníky - hřeben educational trail , a wooden shelter for tourists and a summit book . The view is limited, the wooden observation tower that was once erected here has been destroyed. On the red-marked hiking trail from Papajské sedlo there is a well with a rich spring.
A number of marked hiking trails lead to the top from the Czech and Slovak sides of the border - red from Papajské sedlo and sedlo pod Radošovem, green from Huslenky and Lazy pod Makytou, blue from Francova Lhota and yellow from Lysá pod Makytou. The ascent is relatively demanding, the difference in altitude is up to 400 meters.
Flora and fauna
The forests on the slopes of the Makyta have retained a natural character, woodruff beech forest ( Galio odorati-Fagetum ) predominates with natural regeneration, at higher altitudes it changes into a canyon forest ( Tilio-Acerion ). The flora is typical of beech forests in the Carpathian Mountains and has a rich spring aspect. The extensive and little affected forests offer favorable living conditions for rare and threatened animal species. The white-backed woodpecker , the three- toed woodpecker and the stock dove breed here . Brown bears , wolves and Eurasian lynxes migrating from Slovakia to Moravia have been observed on large predators . The summit is part of the first zone of two protected landscape areas (CHKO Beskydy and CHKO Kysuce ) with the highest level of protection. On the northern slopes of the mountain, the Makyta nature reserve was proclaimed on 187 hectares in 2008.
