District of Senica

The Myjava River defines the setting of the District of Senica, running from the Myjava Hills across the Záhorie Lowland towards the Morava and connecting a largely rural area of fields, woodland and small settlements. In western Slovakia’s Trnava Region, the district stretches between lowland country and the foothills of the Little Carpathians and Myjava Hills. Senica is its administrative centre. At Šaštín-Stráže, the Basilica of Our Lady of Seven Sorrows serves as Slovakia’s national sanctuary and a major pilgrimage destination.

The Region of Trnava stretches from the Little Carpathians to the Danube, encompassing fertile lowlands and rolling uplands in western Slovakia. Its southern districts lie in the Danubian Lowland, while the Váh runs through the east and the Little Carpathians frame the northwest. Trnava, the regional capital, is known for its notably preserved town walls and the University of Trnava, founded in 1635. Farther east, Piešťany has long been associated with thermal spa traditions. Vineyards, market towns and river plains give the region a distinct character within easy reach of Bratislava.

Slovakia is best known internationally for the High Tatras, whose granite summits form the country’s most celebrated mountain landscape. Gerlachovský štít, at 2,655 metres, is the highest peak in Slovakia and in the Carpathians. The Danube runs past Bratislava, where Bratislava Castle stands on a hill above the river, linking the capital to Central Europe’s major waterway. Beyond the cities, forests, karst terrain and small historic towns define much of the country. Slovakia’s long folk tradition is also represented by the fujara, a large shepherd’s flute recognised by UNESCO.
