For all of them we can mention the leading novelist Ladislav Nádaši-Jégý, the author of the novels Adam Šangal or Alina Oságová, the poet Janek Matúška, the author of the text of the Slovak anthem, and of course the most famous native of Orava, Pavel Országh Hviezdoslav. Dolnokubín's historic cemetery is an integral part of the historic city center, located on Aleja Slobody Street.
