The village is located in the Ružomberok district at an elevation of 662 meters above sea level. Covering an area of just under 13 km2, it is home to nearly 800 residents. The first written mention of the village dates back to 1323, referred to as Dubora, Dubova Walaska, Valachorum. Initially, it belonged to Likava Castle, and in 1556, it became part of the Orava domain. The inn building, dating back to the early 19th century, stands on the site of a former old wooden structure, where Juraj Jánošík was allegedly captured, although this is not documented. In 1933, the village was devastated by fire but was rebuilt after 1945. The surrounding area features caves, some of which served as hiding places for people during World War II (wikipedia.sk).
