A viewpoint and rest area. The highest point on the hellish climb. If you see the white cross by the roadside, you can already scream with joy.

You have to turn off the main road. The best view is in the evening, before sunset.

Dolný Kubín is one of the main towns of the Orava region and a great starting point for cyclists exploring the Slovak part of the Carpathians. Situated on the Orava River, the town offers a beautiful centre with a pedestrian zone and a historic bridge, as well as numerous shops and accommodation options. The Orava Museum and the castle in nearby Oravský Podzámok are worth a visit. The access to Dolný Kubín leads through picturesque valleys and well-maintained roads, also suitable for trekking bikes. It is a good place to spend the night or regenerate before continuing your route through the mountains or towards Liptov.

Trstená is a small Slovak town located right on the border with Poland, on the Orava River. It is a good place for a short break during a bike trip through Orava or the route of the Trail Around the Tatras. In the center, it is worth seeing the well-kept market square, the Church of St. Martin and local cafes where you can relax. The route to Trstená leads mainly along quiet roads and bike paths, and the surrounding areas are rather flat, so they are also suitable for a lighter day trip. In the area, it is worth stopping at the Oravská priehrada reservoir or continuing towards Dolný Kubín.
