Several places of interest are located nearby Leskovdol with Seven Altars monastery, Izdremets peak and a section of the Kom–Emine long-distance footpath being the main ones.

The entire territory of Leskovdol - with all of its scattered residential districts, adjacent forests and meadows - is a little over 26,2 square kilometers.

Dirt roads link Leskovdol with its neighbouring villages of Bukovets, Brezovdol, Redina (to the south), Želen (to the west) & Bov (to the north).

[4] It is believed that Leskovdol - alongside many of its surrounding settlements - was founded by people fleeing a process of forced islamization followed by the Ottoman conquest of Bulgaria.

Moreover, in the Tahrir Defter number 151 from 1528 the village was mentioned to have had Voynuk households under the Voynugan-ı Istabl-ı Amire military branch, which were Ottoman Christian Soldiers and were tax-exempt.

[5] Additionally two summits located nearby Leskovdol - Lilyaka & Gradishte - are considered to be ancient fortresses, while the latter is thought to have been used to observe and protect the Iskar River during Roman times all the way until the Middle Ages.

The majority of the population is concentrated in the Selishte, Popov kladenets, Vratnitsa, Kokelini babki, Svinove and Dobrolevo bardo districts.

The migration towards the cities and the lowering fertility rate however kept Leskovdol from growing beyond 800 residents with the peak point being reached around the 1934 census - 822 inhabitants.

In the late 1960s people, mainly from Sofia, bought parcels in the village's districts and started building a second type of houses - villas and bungalows - which they used as a residence for their summer vacations.

The villas are built with modern building materials and thus create a mixed look of the village with both typical and new houses forming the background.

The small church - Sveti prorok Iliya ("Свети пророк Илия") bears the name of Saint Elias and was officially consecrated in 1933.
