Beautiful mountain town of Oravska Lesna is surrounded by beautiful yet hars nature of the Slovakian Beskydy and the Oravska Magura. Despite it is located in the midst of the mountains, its surroundings is ideal to bike there. Of many marked bike trails and nice forest paths, everyone will choose according to his preference, enthusiastic bikers, and families with children as well. The latter can take, for instance, a nice asphalt road going slightly uphill to unique historical narrow gauge railway. More experienced hikers can test their abilities on a bike up hill to the railroad station of Sedlo Beskyd, or while climbing to beautiful chapel near the upper station of a cableway in Lehotska.
