Leštiny is a small village in the Orava region of northern Slovakia, a short distance from Dolný Kubín, and its pride is a wooden Lutheran church that looks, from outside, more like a large farmhouse than a place of worship. This is one of the articular churches, built under strict conditions imposed in the late seventeenth century, and it is part of the World Heritage Site of Wooden Churches of the Slovak part of the Carpathian Mountain Area, inscribed in 2008.

Leštiny is where the day begins. Next is Vlkolínec.
At the end of a narrow road climbing out of Ružomberok, a single street of log houses runs up a hillside meadow beneath the forests of the Veľká Fatra. Vlkolínec has been a World Heritage Site since 1993, chosen as the most complete surviving example of a traditional Central European mountain village of its kind, and it remains a lived-in place rather than an open-air museum, with residents, gardens and the occasional dog asleep in the sun.
