The Revúcka vrchovina (German roughly Großrauschenbacher Bergland ) is a mountainous region in the southern center of Slovakia , geomorphologically part of the Slovak Ore Mountains , which covers about 1000 km² and extends roughly from the southwest to the northeast. The hill country is named after the town of Revúca in the eastern half. The highest points are in the northeast near Dobšiná and the highest mountain is called Veľký Radzim ( 991 m nm ).
The mountainous region borders the Stolické vrchy in the north, Volovské vrchy in the northeast and east, Slovak Karst and Rožňavská kotlina in the southeast, Juhoslovenská kotlina in the south, Ostrôžky in the west and Veporské vrchy in the northwest.
Most of the valleys within Revúcka vrchovina run in an approximately north-south direction, and accordingly the altitude generally decreases from north to south. Significant rivers in the mountains or on its edge include the Krivánsky potok and the upper reaches of the Ipeľ in the west and Rimavica , Rimava , Blh , Muráň and Štítnik in the middle and east, which belong to the Slaná catchment area .
The aragonite cave of Ochtiná is a tourist attraction .
