The Slovak Republic is situated in Central Europe, sharing frontiers with the Czech Republic, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Ukraine. The republic is hilly and picturesque, with historic castles, forests, pure mountain streams, romantic valleys and lakes, as well as excellent facilities to „take the waters“ at one of the famous spas or to ski and hike in the mountains. |
The Tatra range and the foothills of the Carpathians descend to the huge and fertile Danube Plain, located in the southwest near Bratislava. The famous Danube River flows through the southwest of the Slovak Republic and connect its capital Bratislava with Vienna in Austria and Budapest in Hungary. The Slovak Republic was prior the 1918 a part of the Austrian-Hungarian Monarchy and this is reflected in its culture – music, food and architecture - especially in the south. |
