The Tribeč , also briefly Tribetz (Slovak Tribeč / Tríbeč ), is a nearly 50-kilometer-long and up to 18 km wide forested mountain range in Slovakia .

It belongs to the Western Carpathians and runs from Nitra to the northeast, until it finally merges into the Vogelgebirge (Vtáčnik, up to 1350 m) at Veľké Pole east of the town of Partizánske . In the south and west the mountain range reaches the Danube hill country, in the east to Pohronský Inovec . In the northeast lies the already mentioned Vtáčnik Mountains and in the north the Oberneutraer Kessel ( Hornonitrianska kotlina ).

Administratively, the mountain range extends to the Okresy (counties) of Nitra , Zlaté Moravce , Topoľčany and Partizánske .

The most important peaks are the Zobor (588 meters, directly above the outskirts of Nitra), Jelenec (~ 550 m) and Rázdiel, as well as the eponymous Veľký Tribeč (829 m) in the center.
