The presented study deals with the question of the origin of "mountain people" - huncokars in Czech and German-speaking countries. This specific ethnographic group, which was a part of the German minority in the past, came to the territory of western Slovakia in the period of 18th to 19th century. In ethnographic works from the past, is emphasized most often their Styrian, Tyrolean, Bavarian, Lower Austrian, or Upper Austrian origin. Some authors also mentioned the historical territories of the Czech lands. Similar conclusions were reached by a part of contemporary researchers who were in direct contact with the descendants of the studied community. The main goal of my study was to synthesize all the available information regarding the origin of huncokars. The research was primarily based on the study of secondary literature (ethnographic works) and archival materials (registry records).
