District of Svidník

Built around the historic settlements of Nižný and Vyšný Svidník on the Ondava River, Svidník grew into the administrative centre of its district in northeastern Slovakia. The town lies in the foothills of the Low Beskids, close to the Polish border and the Dukla Pass. Its Slovak National Museum – Museum of Ukrainian Culture documents the traditions of Slovakia’s Rusyn and Ukrainian communities, while the adjoining open-air museum presents vernacular wooden buildings. Svidník is also closely connected with the 1944 Carpathian–Dukla Operation, commemorated at sites across the surrounding region.
