Turiec

Turiec is a region in central Slovakia. Turiec is an informal designation of the territory (like Burgundy or French Basque Country), but it is also the name of one the 21 official tourism regions of Slovakia. The region is not an administrative division in its own right, but between the late 11th century and 1918 it was an administrative county of the Kingdom of Hungary, (see separate article Turóc County).
