Florin house

Museum & Gallery

How different can your room be with the room of the famous poet The Herkel Florin? Come and look at his memorial room and get to know this important personality better.

The two-floor dye house situated in the historical centre of Dolný Kubín, was built in the 18th century. From the end of the 19th century, it was used as a residence only. After the fire of Dolný Kubín in 1893, the house was passed to Jozef Kohúth, a historian and Orava monograph writer who lived here until his death in 1900. Later, the house became a possession of the Herkeľ family.

Between the years 1953 – 1973, the house belonged to Teodor Herkeľ Florin – a poet, publicist, diplomat and public educator, who contributed to the organisation of the national recitation competition Hviezdoslavov Kubín. He also wrote eleven collections of poems and edited more than thirty volumes of Bibliofília Hviezdoslavovho Kubína.

The house is currently used for temporary exhibitions from the fields of social sciences and natural history, prepared by the specialized research operatives of the Orava Museum of P. O. Hviezdoslav.

Theo Herkeľ Florin Memorial Room

Since 1997, the T. H. Florin Memorial Room with the original furnishing is accessible to the public. His collections of poems, personal possessions and biographical information are also part of the room.

Veľký Choč Mt. (Chočské vrchy Mts.)

The mountain Veľký Choč towering above the dividing line between regions Liptov and Orava is one of the most beautiful in Slovakia. Prevailingly spruce woods cover the mountain and in the highest parts a continuous growth of dwarf pines (unique in this whole mountain range) can be seen. For well-conserved forest bioncenoses with rare flora which in places acquire the nature of virgin forest, it was designated the National Nature Reserve.

Lučanský waterfall

The waterfall is a great rarity also because it lies in the middle of the village. It is 12 meters high, cascading and falls from the edge of the travertine terrace into a small lake. The Lúčanka or Teplianka stream itself is not interesting at all, but its tributaries are gypsum-earthy Teplice, which enriched the decoration of the waterfall by flowing over the mentioned travertine terraces, from which the waterfall falls down.
