The Republic of Slowakei with its capital Bratislava (German: Pressburg) in Mitteleuropa covers 49,035 km². It borders Österreich to the west, Tschechien and Polen to the north, Ukraine to the east, and Ungarn to the south. In 1993, the former state of Tschechoslowakei peacefully split into the two independent states of Slovakia and Tschechien. Viticulture has a shared history that dates back to the Kelten.

The wine regions are mainly located in the south along the borders with Österreich and Ungarn. The vineyards form a strip about 60 kilometers long along these borders and are mostly situated along the Donau-Nebenflüssen Hron (Gran), Nitra (Neutra), and Váh (Waag) around the capital Bratislava (Pressburg). A continental Klima prevails with hot summers and cool winters with moderate Niederschlag.

If I were to rate websites, you would deserve the highest rating. It is rare to come across websites that provide such a large amount of data and are still so intuitive to use. Respect for the lovingly researched and informatively prepared encyclopedia. Keep it up!
