Published: 16.8.2012
After several weeks, more or less spent at home watching television because I during a crazy ride on motor bikes fractured ribs, I could no longer wait for the next trip. On long trips my body still did not dare, so we decided that we go somewhere to water.

My husband had longer agreed that on Saturday stop at the airport in Senica. So we opened the map and looking for some interesting water area in the vicinity. We caught sight of the nearby Kunovská dam.

Suburban recreation area Senice

Kunovská Dam lies just 5 kilometres north-east of the town Senica, on the southwestern tip of the White Carpathians. Although it seems in recent days that summer is already in decline, we wanted to catch a little more bronze and especially to the fresh air surrounded by beautiful countryside to relax from the hustle and bustle of everyday work. Kunovská dam is directly created for it.

Right by the water reservoir is quite large car park, which is indeed paid, but compared to prices prevailing in Bratislava and its immediate vicinity, it was more a a playground near stone beachsymbolic price. If you'd like to come here for a walk, or on a bicycle or roller skates, definitely take advantage of interesting cycling, which leads next to the stream Teplica and connects Kunovská dam with the city Senica. Even during our trip we met a lot of skaters and cyclists, who ran here either swim, or just with family or friends for a beer and Kofola. We went at least for a short walk along the beach. And how do we convince my own eyes, though there was not lying head to head, around the tank there was a real summer relax.  Some people were lying on the beaKunovská damch sunbathing and to others caught the bronze on mattress in the middle of the lake, or just casually swam, others played beach volleyball or straining your brain while playing giant chess.
