Turňa nad Bodvou (German Tornau , Hungarian Torna ) is a municipality in eastern Slovakia near the border with Hungary , about 10 kilometers west of the city of Moldava nad Bodvou .
The place is at the eastern end of the Slovak Karst and marks the beginning of the Košická kotlina (Kosice Basin). The Bodva flows through the village and gives the name to the hill country Bodvianska pahorkatina , which runs south of the municipality , and the Turňa river flows into the Bodva here.
There is a strong Hungarian minority (around 44% in 2001) and a smaller Roma minority in the community . In 1991, more than 60% of the population stated Hungarian as their nationality, with a not insignificant part of the Roma minority, which was not recognized at the time.
