Trenčín Region

The Trenčín Region contains nine districts across 4,502 square kilometers of land between the White Carpathians and Strážov Mountains along the Váh River.

The region emerged from the West Slovak and Central Slovak regions in 1996, establishing itself as one of eight administrative divisions in modern Slovakia.

The region incorporates thermal spa towns, astronomical observatories, medieval fortifications, and industrial centers that shape the local identity of 569,388 inhabitants.

The regional network connects major cities including Trenčín, Prievidza, Považská Bystrica, and Partizánske through an integrated system of roads and railways.

The Roman inscription beneath Trenčín Castle documents the presence of 855 soldiers from Legion II, marking the northernmost Latin inscription beyond the Danube River.
