South of the Little Carpathians is the large Danube lowland , divided into the Danube hill country in the north and the Danube plain in the south, including part of the large Schüttinsel . The Inowetz extends along the Hlohovec-Piešťany line . Larger rivers are the March in the northwest, the Waag in the east, the Little Danube and the Danube in the south, dammed here in the Gabčíkovo hydropower plant . The highest point is the Záruby mountain ( 767 m nm ), which is also the highest point of the Little Carpathians; the lowest point is on the Little Danube near the municipality of Okoč ( 110 m nm ).
There are four protected landscape areas in the Kraj area: Biele Karpaty (White Carpathians), Dunajské luhy (Danube meadows), Malé Karpaty (Little Carpathians) and Záhorie (Marchauen).
From the point of view of the administrative structure, the Trnavský kraj borders on the Trenčiansky kraj in the north, the Nitriansky kraj in the east, the Hungarian Győr-Moson-Sopron county in the south, the Bratislavský kraj in the west and Lower Austria and the Jihomoravský kraj in the north-west.
