Záhorie

Záhorie (Hungarian: Erdőhát)[1][2] is a region in western Slovakia between the Little Carpathians to the east and the Morava River to the west.

This town is well known for a typical cuveé - Skalicky Rubin (Skalica Ruby), a composition of three sorts of red wine - Noir de Franconie (subsort Lampart)+ Portugais Bleu + Saint Laurent (Skalicka Frankovka, Modry Portugal, Svätovavrinecké) and also a typical subsort of Noir de Franconie redwine - Lampart.

Towns in the region are Gbely, Holíč, Malacky, Senica, Skalica, Stupava and Šaštín-Stráže.

Between the villages are very often small settlements, especially around Myjava and Brezová pod Bradlom, called kopanice, osady or samoty.

The Landscape Area takes 275.22 km² (106.3 mi²) and is divided into two separate parts – north-eastern and western.

This forest was planted with Scots pine in the 18th century on the largest blown sands of Slovakia.

Before that time, a typical horse carriage journey from Prague to Bratislava would pass through Znojmo and Vienna.

[5] The construction of the D2 motorway passing through Záhorie and connecting Bratislava with Brno and further with Prague was commenced in 1969 and completed in 1980.
