Oravský Háj is located right next to Skorušinské vrchy mountains, where you can find interesting attractions. Going on a hike is no problem from nearby Brezovica. The paths will take you to the very highest peak of Skorušina (1314 m) with a lookout tower on top, from where you can enjoy the view of the Western Tatras and Babia Hora. There are interesting little things waiting for you along the way, which will definitely make the hike to the top more pleasant. The Lepšia Dedinka (“Village Improvement”) civic organisation has been active in Skorušinské vrchy mountains building small attractions in recent years.

You can go from Habovka or Zábiedovo following the blue and red markers, from Trstená following the green markers, from Brezovica following the yellow, green and red markers, or from Oravíce following the red trail markers. Skorušina is the highest peak in the Skorušinské vrchy mountains. From the observation tower at the top there is a beautiful view of the panorama of the entire Orava region.

 

Juráňova dolina valley
The hike through the Juráňova dolina valley is not difficult, even families with children can do it. Juráňov potok stream flows through the valley, whose activity has significantly contributed to its special character. The most attractive lower part of the valley is called Tiesňava and is characterized by steep rock walls and formations called giant “pots”. A marked red hiking trail leads through the gorges from Oravíce. Along its route, there are several educational panels dedicated to the history, flora, fauna and iron ore mining of the area.
