Záhorská Ves (until 1948 in Slovak "Uhorská Ves" - until 1927 "Uhorská Ves pri Morave"; German Ungeraiden and Ungereigen , Hungarian Magyarfalu - until 1882 Magyarfalva ) is a municipality in the far west of Slovakia . It is located directly on the border with Austria on the March , opposite Angern on the March , about 15 km from Malacky and 35 km from Bratislava .
The place was mentioned as early as 1301, but does not appear again until 1557 in the records. In the second half of the 16th century, Croatian colonists settled in the place. A sugar factory opened in 1870; it was temporarily the largest in the world and was closed in 1947.
There is a border crossing between Angern and the municipality, which is served by a vehicle ferry that transfers people and vehicles up to a gross vehicle weight of 7.5 tons.
Here is also the westernmost point of Slovakia. It is situated in a meander of March at the coordinates: 48 ° 22 '50 " N , 16 ° 49' 59.5" O . The distance to the most easterly point at Nová Sedlica on the slope of Kremenec Mountain is about 428 km (air line).
