Saddle of the Beskids - Oravská Lesná

Small Wooden Lookout Tower – Between Orava and Kysuce This small wooden lookout tower is accessible from both the Orava and Kysuce sides. It is located above Demänová, the most remote settlement that belongs to the village of Oravská Lesná. In summer, the tower is visited by more tourists thanks to the Orava Forest Railway, which operates from the Tanečník station directly to the site. From the Kysuce side, you can also reach the area via Sedlo Beskyd. A ride on a handcar (drezina) is available, but advance booking is required at the Kysuce Village Museum in Vychylovka, which operates the route. The tower offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Kysuce and Orava landscapes.

How to Get There The easiest way to reach Sedlo Beskyd is by taking the Orava Forest Railway. You can also arrive via the Kysuce Cycling Route, which connects Nová Bystrica with Oravská Lesná.
