History & geography

History

In historical records, the village was first mentioned in 1311. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Slovenská Ves was part of Szepes County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. On 27 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Slovenská Ves in the course of the Western Carpathian offensive and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia. The main employment of the village population since its establishment was agricultural manufacture.  The main crops were and still are wheat and potatoes. Because of large meadows on mountain roots, a sheep breeding was the next favorite activity.

Geography

It is located under the largest mountain in middle Europe called the Tatras, surrounded by lush forests, with a lot of natural wells, rich in mushrooms and berries, being as a living space for wild animals as a bear, deer or fox.
