Rozhľadňa Kravany nad Dunajom
Did you know that the village of Kravany nad Dunajom bears the nickname "village of manors"? You can take a bird's-eye view of them if you plan a trip to the local tourist lookout tower.
This village, small in terms of population, is located in the Komárno district. During your visit, you will be intrigued by an unusual lookout tower made of wood and steel. The tourist lookout tower has a circular shape and rises to a height of 17 meters. From it, you can not only see the aforementioned manors, but also enjoy views of breathtaking nature. Right next to the lookout tower, a new recreational park was built in 2013, where you can shelter from the burning sun even on hot days. This park is mainly used by cyclists who want to rest on a bench for a moment and recharge their energy.
The lookout tower is interesting because it is situated at an altitude of 108 meters above sea level, making it one of the lowest-located lookout towers in the Slovak Republic. After climbing 90 steps, you will reach the top viewing platform, which offers a view of the calm waters of the Dunaj river and a wonderful panorama of the surrounding landscape. It is not only romantic couples who come here to enjoy unique sunsets and sunrises. From the lookout tower, you can see the majestic Pilišské vrchy or Vyšehradské vrchy hills. You can also direct your gaze to one of the neighboring villages. Interestingly, the railing of the tourist lookout tower features marked directions to 30 world capitals. On each steel bar, you can check the direction of a city as well as its straight-line distance from the lookout tower.
Right next to the lookout tower runs the EuroVelo cycling route, which is among the longest and most beautiful cycling circuits in Europe. The park area is mainly visited by mothers with children, who have a playground with various climbing frames and swings at their disposal. If the lookout tower and its surroundings have caught your interest, park your car in the nearby parking lot and enjoy a wonderful time here.
Discover the Podunajský región region to the fullest. In addition to a walk, you can also treat yourself to a refreshing bath at the Letné termálne kúpalisko Patince thermal pool. The water in its pools has beneficial effects on the body. Various types of saunas or massages are offered by the Wellness a termálne kúpalisko Patince.
