Tips from the Community
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.

Shortly after crossing the Polish-Slovak border, we can begin to enjoy the magnificent views of the Tatras, which we will gradually approach as we ride the Trail Around the Tatras. This is one of many points on the route where we can admire impressive peaks on the horizon.

A bicycle border crossing between Poland and Slovakia on the route of the Trail Around the Tatras. There is a shelter and benches nearby. The asphalted path makes the ride a pleasure. Despite the slight incline, it is practically not felt.

Looks nice. Always a lot of people. If you are Jesikom or Brajan, awesome. If not, then no.

Very strong protection of the bike path / road crossing after a fatal accident. However, the barriers are positioned at such a large distance that it is possible to drive through with child trailers without any problems.
