Distinctive natural monument on the right bank of Váh river. Typical limestone "mushroom rock" is six meters high and has a strong resemblance to a human fist.
Being located just below the archaeological location of Lipá it is no wonder that number of folk legends are connected to the place. One of them is about Juraj Jánošík, famous Slovak highwayman, who gave the rock its alternate name. But my favourite rumour is that the Fist shows the way to lost treasure of Templars.
The site is National Protected monument since 1971 and is well signposted.
