SK, Ivanka u Dunaje – A Beautiful Town with Grasalkovič Chateau
heading (paragraph): Towns
Published: 8.4.2022
Come and with us a suburban town just outside the capital Bratislava, which is one of the sunniest villages in the country. We talks about Ivanka u Dunaje, offering excellent civic amenities, a large number of monuments and a pleasant atmosphere. Here you will see a memorial site where General Milan Rastislav Štefánik tragically perished in the form of a moundwith an earthen rampart, a romantic castle built by the Grasalkovič family in the 18th century, the Church of St. John the Baptist or the reconstructed St. Rosalie Square with a rotunda chapel.
The village of Bernolákovo is located in the western part of the Danubian Lowland, on the floodplain of the Little Danube and the Black Water. Here you will find the magnificent Esterházy Castle, several unique sacral buildings or even the ruins of a medieval castle.
Šamorín, a town of nearly 14 thousand, is situated in western Slovakia less than 25 kilometres southeast of Bratislava. The rye-island town is surrounded by the Danube Lowland and is divided into five parts, namely Šamorín, Bučuháza, Čilistov, Královianky, Mliečno and two historical parts Gančháza and Šámot.
Even this year, we spent some summer days on our bikes. As we live in Petrzalka, this area of blocs of flats is the point from where we start our trips.
Once we rode on bikes from Petrzalka across the Pristavni Bridge along the Small Danube and across Vrakunsky forest we found ourselves at the airport. From there we will continue to our first place of interest the M. R. Stefanik Memorial.
Last week, we concluded our article while at the beginning of the new bike trail Jurava. In its proximity, the Nature Reservation of Sur is located. It is also called Jursky Sur. It was hard to resist temptation not to turn off our trail. We eventually did so to admire unique marshland.
The collection of vines, the tasting of grape must and burčák are also inseparable from the colorful autumn. The last warm rays of the sun invite you to go on a trip. An ideal combination of both activities is a visit to the beautiful wine village Svatý Jur.
