Bratislava Region, Administrative region in western Slovakia.
Description
The Bratislava Region is an administrative area in western Slovakia that stretches from the Little Carpathians in the north to the Danube lowlands in the south. It combines hilly terrain with flat lands and encompasses multiple geographic zones within its borders.
History
The area was settled by Celtic tribes in ancient times and later became part of the Great Moravian Empire before falling under Hungarian rule. Its current borders were established in 1996 through an administrative reorganization.
Culture
Wine-growing traditions run deep in the Little Carpathians, where local producers have cultivated vineyards for centuries. These wine regions shape the local way of life and form a natural part of how people connect with their landscape.
Practical
The region sits along borders with Austria and Hungary, with several crossing points available for travel. Public transportation regularly connects the various communities throughout the area.
Did you know?
The area contains three protected natural zones - the Little Carpathians, Záhorie, and Dunajské luhy - that together form a natural corridor for rare plants and animals. These connected reserves make it an important refuge for wildlife.
