Geographic Facts about Slovakia

Situated at the geographic crossroads between Western and Eastern Europe, Slovakia is less than 20,000 square miles in size and is bordered by Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Ukraine and Hungary.

For the most part Slovakia is a mountainous country with many different mountain ranges, including the High Tatras, the Low Tatras, the Mala Fatra, the Velka Fatra and the White Carpathians. However, to the west of the country in the Danubian Plains where the capital, Bratislava, is situated, the flat lowlands are in stark contrast to the rest of the country.

The longest river to run entirely inside Slovakia is the Vah, which from its source in the High Tatras runs south-westwards before flowing into the Danube, just outside the town of Komarno.
