Today we will visit the town of Šurany, a town of nearly 10 thousand, surrounded by the beautiful natural scenery of the Danube Plain. It offers the magnificent Parish Church of St. Stephen the First Martyr with its two Baroque towers, the Orthodox synagogue now serving as the town's museum and a wooden bell tower built in 1872. In addition to the above-mentioned sights, there is also a site of European importance known as the Slovak Troja or the Chateau, where the famous statue of the Venus of Hrádec was found.
This time we will go approximately 45 km northeast of Bratislava to the medium-sized village of Pusté Úľany. The village in the Trnava region offers to see several interesting historical monuments.
On the left bank of the river Zittau, approximately 7 km from the district town of Nové Zámky, is one of the largest villages in Slovakia - Dvory nad Zitavou. Its neighbours are the already mentioned Nové Zámky, Bešeňov, Branovo, Semerovo, Dubník, Bajč and Pribeta.
On one winter weekend we traveled to the region of Nitra. Our destination was the town of Podhajska. Its train station is located between Nove Zamky and Levice towns. The name comes from its location on southern slopes of the Pohronska Upland. Its hills sit on the flat and are covered with beautiful oak and locust groves.
The district city of Nové Zámky originally built on the marshes, is situated on the banks of the river of Nitra and in addition to the city's cultural heritage offers its residents and visitors a wealth of sports and leisure centres, which are characteristic of it.
The month of May is often called “a time for love”. It means that one should do walks either in couple or together with your children or beloved parents. What about to go for a walk together, a whole family? Today we celebrate Mothers Day. It would be nice to spend it all together.
In the surroundings of Kolárovo locality, at the branch of Váh-river, the unique technical monument was "anchored" - the last from swimming mills. Moreover, you can admire another place of interest, probably the longest covered wooden bridge in Central Europe.
The community of Šala went, during its thousand years lasting evolution, through many changes. The locality became handicrafts' centre in Middle Age, thanks to its advantageous position in Danube plainland. This countryside had exclusively agricultural character.
