Lemešná (950 m a.s.l.) is the highest peak in this section of the Javorníky range, straddling the Czech–Slovak border in a way that makes it genuinely unique — the main summit sits on Czech soil, while the border ridge runs just 200 metres to the east. It is a place where two countries share one mountain, quietly and without fuss.
Most of the peak is forested with silver fir and beech, but clearings in the woodland open up rewarding views. To the north you can spot the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, and on a clear day the Silesian and Kysuce Beskids and even the outline of the Malá Fatra range come into sight. The atmosphere here is calm and deeply forested — cool and shaded in summer, spectacularly colourful in autumn. On the western slopes, in the Malá Hanzlůvka valley, the NPR Razula nature reserve protects one of the finest primeval fir-beech forest stands in the entire Carpathians.
How to reach the summitLemešná rewards those who take their time — a peak that reveals its character gradually, through the quiet of old-growth fir and beech, with two countries visible at once from its forest clearings.
