The paper solves evaluation of current state of accessing the forest with forest road network in the forest management unit Čierny Váh, evaluatation the state of forest roads, point out shortcomings in accessing the forest and eventually propose optimal solutions to improve the situation in the area of interest. Thesis describes natural conditions of the area of interest. By field works was practiced the stocktaking of forest roads, was surveyed basic forest road parameters as type of roadway cover, longitudinal gradient, drainage, range of damage, road erosion, evaluation of cut and fill slopes, aesthetic viewpoint and utility of roads. Basic quantitative indicator of forest road network was calculated. Based on the results of this work it is possible to evaluate quantity but also quality of roads in FMU Čierny Váh, suggest forest road network optimization if necessary and also to deduce general conclusions about forest road state in Slovakia. Total lenght of 34 forest roads is 109 km and forest road network density is 18.25 m.ha–1. Representation of main forest raods 1L is 37.62%, main forest raods 2L 54.77% and skidding roads 7.63%. After realization of plan the forest road network density will be 18.58 m.ha–1. Technical state of main forest raods (1L, 2L) is evaluated as good with proper facilities of individual roads. The opposite situation is for skidding roads, where is mostly observed the catastrophic state.
