Havka (Hungarian: Hóka, German: Haffke, Rusyn: Гавка) is a village and municipality in Kežmarok District in the Prešov Region of northern Slovakia.[5]

## History[edit]

In historical records the village was first mentioned in 1337. The village's history is tied in with that of the nearby Červený Kláštor Carthusian Monastery. More recently, in the nineteenth century, a number of ethnic Germans settled here. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, Havka was part of Szepes County within the Kingdom of Hungary. From 1939 to 1945, it was part of the Slovak Republic. On 27 January 1945, the Red Army dislodged the Wehrmacht from Havka in the course of the Western Carpathian offensive and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.

## Geography[edit]

The municipality lies at an altitude of 633 metres and covers an area of 6.013 km2. It has a population of about 42 people.
