In winter, a cross-country ski trail is prepared along this educational hiking trail. Pavčina Lehota can be reached by car or bus. Hiking and cross-country skiing are therefore separate activity themes that you can consider independently when planning your trip.

Nature

Northeast of Pavčina Lehota lies the Jelšie nature reserve on the floodplain of the Demänovka. It covers 26.10 hectares and is situated at approximately 670 to 690 m above sea level. The protected area preserves an ash-alder forest community; its tree cover consists of coppiced alder interspersed with spruce and ash trees.

In Pavčina Lehota, these nature themes can be given different emphasis: Jelšie represents a distinct natural area as a named protected site, the Dlhý okruh a trail-related theme, and the Vyhliadková veža views across the landscape. Together, the three local features offer different ways of looking at Pavčina Lehota. This makes it easier to organise a day around trails, landscape areas or a viewpoint.

The Dlhý okruh around Pavčina Lehota includes an interesting section along the Jelšie protected area. The Vyhliadková veža observation tower in Pavčina Lehota offers views of the surrounding landscape. You can consider the different trail and viewpoint themes alongside one another when planning. The natural area and the local landscape can likewise be treated as separate focal points.
