Where to go on a trip Číčov

The scorching sun is burning, and in the unbearable heat, not even a leaf on a tree branch moves. You are wondering how to endure it. An idea flashes through your mind. Head to the water! But where? 9 pools, 5 water slides, and all of this in the beautiful greenery of a vast forest park. That is Thermalpark Veľký Meder.

Where can you find all this? Just 68 kilometers from Bratislava and a short distance from the Hungarian border lies the small town of Veľký Meder with a long spa history. Thermal springs were already here almost 1000 years ago. They are fully at your disposal to this day.

You can experience the beneficial effects of the thermal water in the indoor or outdoor part of the complex. The indoor section has 6 pools, with water temperatures ranging from 30 °C to 37 °C. The dominant feature of the indoor area is the swimming pool with an irregular shape. It is suitable not only for swimming but also for pleasant relaxation. Inside it, there is a pearl bath that will take perfect care of ensuring you are completely relaxed and indulging in the bubbles. The little ones have not been forgotten either. Children have their own circular children's pool where they definitely won't get bored with their friends. Water jets or a slide will captivate every little swimmer. This complex also includes a semi-covered seating pool. It has the warmest water of all the pools, and one-third of it is covered. You can fully enjoy the effects of the warm thermal water here. In winter, you can enjoy the unique feeling of admiring the frosty world around you from the pleasantly warm water. You will also relax in the hydromassage pool with water jets and waterfalls. The whole family will have fun in the unique family pool. A complete water playground awaits you and your family here. Water cannons, slides, waterfalls, or an unexpected surprise in the form of a 500-liter bucket of water that ends up on your head – you will experience that only here. Fans of water slides will also enjoy themselves. In the indoor section, there are 2 modern water slides with light effects, each of them nearly 70 meters long. Riding them is truly not only a feast for the eyes but also a great experience.

In the outdoor part, you will find 3 pools, with temperatures ranging from 25 °C to 30 °C. You can have a good swim in the 50-meter-long swimming pool. The Italian pool is used for pleasant relaxation, and one part of it serves as a landing area for water slides. Children can frolic in their own pool, and a children's snake slide is also available to them here. In addition to this children's slide, there are 2 more outside. Kamikaze will please speed enthusiasts, and Spiro, at nearly 100 meters in length, is the longest in the entire park.

In addition to the pools and slides, you can also use the local wellness center. You can choose from various types of saunas: infrared, steam, herbal, or Finnish. You will find out for yourself which one is ideal for you. You can also try magnetotherapy, light therapy, thermotherapy, acupressure, or massages. You will also relax in the salt mine, visit a beauty salon, or exercise in aqua aerobics. In case you get hungry or thirsty, you never have to go far. Outdoor buffets, restaurants, a café, and a bar near the pools will prepare everything you are currently craving. Your little ones will also spend long moments at the Hrad orliaka morského (White-tailed Eagle Castle) playground. They will find swings, a sandbox, climbing frames, a labyrinth, and even a small climbing wall there. The second playground has similar equipment, but it boasts the name Korytnačí hrad (Turtle Castle). If you want to prepare an interesting program for your children and want to spend time swimming yourself, make use of Ostrov drobčekov (Tiny Tots Island). Experienced animators will take care of your children and entertain them while you have fun in your own way.

While wandering through the Podunajsko region, you can also stop in the village of Zemianska Olča, which, in addition to cultural and historical monuments, will captivate you with a nature reserve designated under the name Chránený areál Dropie. This "cultural steppe" environment has become the main wintering site for the great bustard in Slovakia.

You can find the protected natural area in the Lower Žitný ostrov in the cadastral area of the village of Zemianska Olča. This place is the primary home of a very rare steppe bird, the great bustard, which, outside of Slovakia, resides only in the European part of Russia, Spain, Hungary, and Ukraine. During your visit to this habitat, you might manage to catch a glimpse of our largest and most beautiful gallinaceous bird.

In the area, you can enjoy a walk through a unique natural environment. You will recharge with positive energy and see showcase model-type gardens also referred to as the "Prírodná ukážková záhrada". Their distinguishing feature is mainly pollard willows, which are perfectly cared for here. The Náučný chodník Príbeh krajiny educational trail leads through the area. It includes 6 stops, with 3 interactive ones located directly in the area and the remaining ones in the surrounding villages. On the information boards, you will learn more information about this protected part of the Podunajská rovina.

The water bubbling in the pond also has a soothing effect on the human soul. The attentive eye of a nature lover will not miss even a fragment of the floodplain forest. When visiting the protected area, you can stop by the Informačné centrum dropa fúzatého, relax in a gazebo with a reed roof, or rest in a covered seating area. There is also a fireplace. For children, a playground, a willow labyrinth, a rope course, a sensory path, and an observation tower are prepared. The youngest children will enjoy the multifunctional playground. You can also take home a souvenir in the form of a photo from the children's photo observation hut. Domestic animals living in the farmyard are mainly used to manage the grassland habitats of the area.
