geography
The municipality is located about five kilometers west of the city of Košice (district of Myslava ). The almost eleven km² large municipal area includes a section of the valley of the Ida , which breaks through the southeastern foothills of the Slovak Ore Mountains . Characteristic of two Bukovec are fed by the Ida dams: the larger reservoir Vodná nádrž Bukovec above the village, which extends to Hýlov stretches and the reservoir below Bukovec ( Vodná nádrž Pod Bukovcom ). Both dams were built in the 1960s to secure the water supply to Košice and to provide emergency cooling for the Košice steelworks . While the banks of the upper reservoir appear largely natural, the lower reservoir is a magnet for local recreation in the Košice area. On the eastern bank there is a tourist infrastructure with campsites, restaurants, sandy beaches, boat docks and playgrounds; the west bank and the south near the dam is reserved for anglers. There is a golf course between Bukovec and Malá Ida. To the east and west of the Ida, the municipal area is covered by thick deciduous forests. The center of the village is at an altitude of 351 m nm , the highest point in the municipality is the Zámčisko elevation immediately west of the village center at 496 m nm

history
In 1347 Bukovec was first mentioned in writing as Bakolch Villa in connection with the existence of a chapel and a water mill. At that time the place belonged to a family Čurka from Malá Ida . In 1401 the north-western part of the village (today's municipality of Hýľov ) came under the rule of King Sigismund , because silver ores were found there. The yield remained low and so Bukovec was acquired in 1427 by Šebastián von Geča , a follower of the king. In 1406 the place appeared in written sources as Bokolch , 1427 as Bokalch. In the 15th century a new church was built in place of the old chapel, which was consecrated to Saints Peter and Paul . After the Vladislav royal family died out in 1491, Bukovec came to the city of Košice . The current name of the village gradually emerged from the spellings Bowkowlch (1446), Bokolcz (1491), Bwkolcz (1563). For 1808, Bukovec and Bukovce are documented in Slovak and Bukocz in Hungarian. The name of the village comes from the Slovak word "buk" for beech . During the time it belonged to Košice, many Germans immigrated to the area; in the 16th century, Slovak and German were predominantly spoken in Bukovec. In a lexicon from 1773, Bukovec was described as a purely Slovak village. In a census of 1828 there were 60 houses with 465 inhabitants in the village, in 1869 there were 445, and in 1910 there were 479 inhabitants. After the First Vienna Arbitration , Bukovec and the surrounding area belonged to Hungary again from 1938 to 1945.

Economy and Infrastructure
In addition to agriculture and forestry, tourism (hotel and restaurant industry) plays the most important role in Bukovec. There are also retail stores, a school and a library in town.
The inhabitants work in small metalworking companies, in retail or in the tourism sector or commute to the nearby city of Košice . Since the 1970s, Bukovec has been a preferred home and weekend home location for residents of Košice who are looking for peace and quiet but still don't want to miss the advantages of the big city. The well-developed local public transport also contributes to this.
From Bukovec roads lead via Baška to Košice, via Hýľov to Zlatá Idka or Košická Belá and via Malá Ida to Šaca on the European route 571. From nearby Košice there are rail connections to all parts of the country.
