Jablonka (translated "young apple tree", which is due to the many apple trees in the municipality, Hungarian Szvancairtvány ) is a municipality in western Slovakia .
Location and general
The community is located in the hilly country between the Little Carpathians to the south and the White Carpathians to the north . Nové Mesto nad Váhom is about 25 kilometers east of the municipality, Myjava about 7 kilometers northwest, Senica about 20 kilometers northwest. The highest point in the municipality is the Lipovec mountain at 499 meters. The commune is divided by the Jablonka River , which flows east into the Váh near Piešťany .
