District of Dolný Kubín

District of Dolný Kubín occupies a section of the Orava River valley between the Orava Highlands and the Choč Mountains in northern Slovakia’s Žilina Region. Its administrative centre, Dolný Kubín, is an Orava town with strong literary associations: the Literary Museum of P. O. Hviezdoslav is devoted to the poet Pavol Országh Hviezdoslav, who was born in nearby Vyšný Kubín. The Orava Gallery, housed in the historic County House, adds a cultural focus to the centre, while the river valley has long shaped local routes and settlement. Wooded ridges and mountain foothills define the district beyond the town.
