Vodopád Zúgov
Vodopády Zúgov are located in Chránená prírodná rezervácia Zúgov, near the town of Nové Zámky in the Nitra Region. They are actually more like cascades, so do not expect waterfalls like those in Tatry, yet this picturesque spot has still won over many tourists. Access to them is possible by car, bicycle, or on foot, making the Zúgov cascades an ideal place for a walk for families with children.
Both the waterfalls and the nature reserve got the name Zúgov from the Hungarian word "zúgó," which imitates the sound of roaring water. Vodopády Zúgov lie on the Nitra river. Right above the beginning of the Zúgov nature reserve, the Nitra river splits into two branches. They continue flowing separately and merge again above the waterfalls to give power to this natural phenomenon. Some sources state that the Zúgov cascades were built artificially to prevent floods in this area.
Either way, they are worth seeing. For a walk to them, head out from the northeastern part of Nové Zámky past the allotment garden area, where you can park your car and walk the rest of the way. You can liven up the walk with a route through the local Berek forest park. We also recommend heading to the waterfalls by bicycle along Ponitrianska magistrála. You can go from the southern side from the town of Kolárovo or from the north from the town of Šurany. The trail is suitable for cyclists as well as hikers. It is a great place if you want to go running or inline skating.
Vodopády Zúgov and their surroundings are also loved by anglers. In the summer, on the other hand, children come here to frolic. Thanks to its peaceful environment, Zúgov enjoys visitors from far and wide. Come and enjoy some relaxation yourself and recharge your batteries in nature.
