The Small island (Hungarian: Szigetköz, Slovak: Malý Žitný ostrov) is an island that is separated by the main Danube river in the north and the Wieselburger DonauarmMosoni Duna) is formed in the south. It is in the Hungarian county Győr-Moson-Sopron and extends from Rajka or Čunovo in the northwest to the confluence of the Raab and the Danube east of Győr.
