Kunovská priehrada
The Kunov city district of Senica hides a true gem for vacationers to spend their leisure time. It is the Kunovská priehrada reservoir, whose water is suitable for swimming, water sports, and fishing. It is located on the foothills of the Biele Karpaty mountains, which is why the location is also sought after by tourists. However, most often you will meet families with children, groups of friends, or seniors around the reservoir, who head here for active and passive relaxation.
The total area of Kunovská priehrada is 65 ha, so it is not among the smallest. Its depth reaches 2 to 8.5 m. The surroundings are grass-covered and offer an ideal space for, for example, a family picnic. Even if you do not want to go into the water, take at least a book and read it just like that, lying on a blanket. It is the magical power of nature that will recharge your internal batteries.
You can reach Kunovská priehrada from the city very comfortably by bicycle or roller skates. A path set in beautiful nature, leading along the Teplica stream, will serve you for this purpose. Access is also possible on foot or by car, of course, and you do not have to worry about a parking space at all. 300 parking spaces are available to you all year round. When you get to it, you will find yourself in a truly spacious and equipped recreational area.
Changing rooms, social facilities, and, during the summer season, refreshments are waiting for you here. Given that you can also perform various water sports on the reservoir, you will find a boathouse here, where you can also rent a boat or a pedal boat directly. Active individuals will appreciate the volleyball and tennis court, minigolf, Russian skittles, or giant chess. The little ones were also kept in mind; the playground offers sandboxes, swings, and climbing frames.
From the activities in the vicinity, we recommend a walk along the Náučný chodník Senica – Kunovská priehrada (Senica – Kunovská priehrada Educational Trail), which has a total length of 5 km. It will take you approximately 90 minutes, and from the built-in information boards, you will learn interesting facts about preserved original habitats, fauna, flora, and nature conservation. There are several benches on the route where you can rest. In order for you to be able to complete all this and also visit other attractions in Senica and its surroundings, book accommodation near Kunovská priehrada, for example, directly from some of the accommodation Senica page. Do not forget to take your family or friends too; you will experience much more fun and adventures that way.
