District of Tvrdošín

The District of Tvrdošín lies along the upper Orava River in northern Slovakia, where the Orava Highlands meet the foothills of the Western Tatras near the Polish border. Forested slopes, open mountain meadows and scattered settlements give this part of the Žilina Region a distinctly upland character. The district includes Tvrdošín, whose wooden Church of All Saints dates from the late 15th century and is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List as part of the Wooden Churches of the Slovak Carpathians. The nearby Oravice area is known for its thermal water and access to the Roháče section of the Western Tatras.
