Sološnica (German: Breitenbrunn; Hungarian: Széleskút) is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Malacky District in the Bratislava Region.

Sološnica lies at the foot of the northwestern side of the Malé Karpaty (Little Carpathians) Mountains at an altitude of 291 m above sea level.

Southeast of the village is the majestic peak, Vápenná (Roštún National Nature Reserve), rising 748 m sharply up from the lowlands.

Beautiful surroundings draw tourists, who admire the cliffs Little and Great Vápennej as well as the Roštún State Reservation, located in the cadastral area of Sološnica and Plavecké Podhradie.

Sološnica had several different names throughout the centuries, some of which are Zeleskut, Pratunprun (1367), Zyleskut (1371), Solossnicza (1773) or Széleskút from the Hungarian language, where széles stands for broad and kút means well (presumably a watering place for grazing cattle).

The word soľ referring to the salt connected to the suffix -nica created the complete Slovak version of the name for the village.

In 1861 during the celebrations devoted to the Holy Ghost there was a strong storm with heavy rain which resulted in the level of the Sološnica Stream rising and flooding a substantial part of the village.

World War I brought along plenty of hardship, suffering, and famine, as well as poverty for the local people.

In order to commemorate this significant event, a memorial was built in 1931 by the village with the help of the money collected among its inhabitants.
