The municipality lies at an altitude of 680 metres and covers an area of 7.679 km² . It has a population of about 620 people.
The village itself was established in 1956. At the end of 18th century was just one watermill located at the place of present village. Afterwards a pub had been constructed. Then the Mlynčeky became a settlement and in 1956 it obtained village status. Before the establishment of independent Czechoslovakia in 1918, the settlement of Mlynčeky 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 Mlynčeky in the course of the Western Carpathian offensive and it was once again part of Czechoslovakia.
