Where to go on a trip Topoľníky

When visiting the Podunajský región region, you can also stop in the village of Dunajský Klátov. It will charm you not only with its picturesque nature, but also with an interesting technical monument in the outskirts of the village, which is an old watermill. It is located right on the bank of the Klátovské rameno of the Malý Dunaj.

This cultural historical monument is a typical example of an undershot watermill. It was converted into its current form in 1920. The mill was still functional in the 1940s. 10 years later, a new bridge was built in the area, and the water to the mill was diverted to the side. The mill thus lost its original function. However, in the 2nd half of the 1980s, the state purchased the mill and declared the surrounding area a protected area with several protected plant and animal species. It was opened to the public only in 1987. In 2016, it underwent another complete reconstruction. An exhibition of water milling with original equipment was subsequently set up on its premises.

And what does this mill look like today? Imagine a two-story building with a gabled roof. The millhouse building is brick, and the wheel together with the drive system are located in a wooden extension. This facility consists of a mill wheel, which forms the drive system. This is followed by the transmission and working systems. During your visit to this place, take note of the industrial metal windows as well.

Visit this place and, in addition to the watermill, enjoy the pier with a view of the calm water surface. In the village, you can also take a walk to the Roman Catholic chapel and quiet yourself in prayer beside it. Do not miss the opportunity to go horseback riding at Czajlik Ranch either. As part of your itinerary, you can go see other watermills located in the surrounding area. On hot summer days, you can relax in the pools of Thermalpark Dunajská Streda. You can also entertain your children with a visit to Malkia Park, which is home to big cats.

When exploring the region, it is good to think about how you will end your evening. You can head either home or to accommodation near the watermill in Dunajský Klátov. In our offer of accommodation facilities on our website, we have beautiful rooms in guesthouses. Located on the riverbank are also stunning cottages in Dunajský Klátov. It all depends on you which type of accommodation facility you choose as the place for your temporary stay.

During your visit to the village of Jahodná in the Dunajská Streda district, you cannot miss the view of the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul. However, the village was also known for milling, which was reflected in the lives of the inhabitants who built an interesting water mill here on the adjacent parts of the Malý Dunaj.

On the calm surface of the Malý Dunaj river with its constant water flow, a total of 11 mills were built. Only 4 have survived to the present day. One of them is the wheel water mill in Jahodná, which has been restored and declared a technical monument of folk milling.

One of the main components of human nutrition was grain and grain products. These were processed in this area by grinding in water mills. Looking at this structure, you will find that it is a single-story brick building. It was built around 1920. Due to a lack of financial resources, the mill had to be sold to a new owner, namely Západoslovenské energetické závody. That is also why it is not accessible to the general public today.

The mill is among the sought-after attractions of this village. You can reach it via a cycling loop that starts and ends in Dunajská Streda. Its length is 57 km, including a stop at this mill. The second way to visit this place is by floating along the educational trail that starts in Tomášikovo. The loop is 10 km long. Along this route, you will also see another water mill in Tomášikovo.

The environment is peaceful and thus mainly attracts the attention of tourists who need relaxation in nature. Some choose a slightly more adventurous program and do not hesitate to pitch their tent near the mill. At night, it is beautiful to observe the sky studded with glowing stars. However, it is more pleasant to spend your stay in accommodation at the water mill Jahodná.

Not everyone can appreciate the beauty of such a unique structure. That is why many visitors choose one of the other leisure options for their program. Riding at the Czajlik ranch is among the favorites. During hot summer days, you can cool your sun-heated bodies in the Thermal park Dunajská Streda. In addition to swimming pools, you will also find a number of attractions, wellness, or a lake with a rich offer of water sports. Cat lovers will be pleased by the opportunity to visit Malkia Park, which is a sanctuary for abused and unwanted animals.

We believe that you will fully enjoy your stay by the water mill in this village. You can make it special by accommodation in chalets in Jahodná, which offer sufficient privacy even for larger groups of guests. Alternatively, book one of the comfortable apartments, from where you will have the opportunity to set out for other attractions in Jahodná. We will be happy to help you choose the best accommodation on our website.

In the beautiful environment of a floodplain forest, only 2 km from the village of Tomášikovo, in Southern Slovakia, you will find an architectural gem, Vodný kolový mlyn. In 1893, it was built by the miller János Maticza and has been preserved in its original state to this day. It is located at the confluence of the Malý Dunaj and Suchý potok.

Inside, you will find an original interior with photographs as well as an authentic miller's room with a wooden plank bed, a slit window, and a small table. The interior also houses milling tools and sacks in which ground flour and grain were stored.

The mill ground flour for a respectable 67 years, almost 20 hours every day. An interesting fact is that in 1940 a dynamo was installed in it, and thanks to this, it also operated on electric drive. Did you know that it is one of the few preserved watermills in Slovakia with operational mill machinery?

In 1982, it was restored and today serves as a technical monument of folk milling in Southern Slovakia. You can reach it from the bank via a wooden footbridge. Located near it is a popular paddlers' campsite.

The bridge was first built in 1877. Before this period, a ferryman operated at this place. In the 1950s, the bridge was destroyed by moving ice floes. Only the original piers remained, which still remind local residents of the original bridging of the riverbed today. The bridge got a second chance at its restoration in 1992, when it was newly built. Thanks to acacia piers and special treatment with a preparation from Kutná Hora, it stands here to this day. And it is allegedly going to stand for another 150 years. It received the title of the longest wooden bridge only in 1997. From the original 62 m, it was extended to 86 m. The highest point on it reaches a height of 2.25 m. To protect it from adverse weather conditions, locals had it covered.

The popular bridge in Kolárovo is sought after not only by local residents, but also by foreign tourists. On its other bank, you can relax in a beautiful area built in the spirit of traditional countryside.

Malkia Park in Orechová Potôň is a unique place that opened its gates to the public on June 4, 2016. Orechová Potôň is a village in the Dunajská Streda district. The park is primarily home to large felines that were abused or unwanted, but other animal species have gradually been added as well. Many animals that were already born in captivity and thus would unfortunately not survive in the wild have found their sanctuary here. While they do not get freedom, they receive a lot of love and the necessary care.

The ZOO got its name from the first animal rescued by the zookeepers and founders of the park. It was the lioness Malkia. Her name means "queen" in the Swahili language, and perhaps that is why locals sometimes call Malkia Park the "royal park". Malkia Park is home to many impressive felines, but you will also find zebras, camels, donkeys, goats, sheep, llamas, gibbons, capuchins, lemurs, tortoises, meerkats, parrots, and waterfowl. Most of our charges have a story. Many are strong, and perhaps you will hold back tears at some of them, but each of them ultimately ended happily.

The ZOO offers not only a classic visit but also organizes experiential or weekend stays. You can become an animal keeper for a day. You will look at the operation of the ZOO from another perspective and understand how much love zookeepers must have within themselves to make the animals in the ZOO happy and content. Malkia Park thinks primarily of the youngest ones. How about preparing an unforgettable birthday celebration for them right in the ZOO? Thematic decoration, plenty of fun, and interesting facts about animals are a great birthday gift in themselves.

Malkia Park even offers the opportunity to become an adoptive parent of one of the animals. The animal you adopt in this way will receive exemplary care for all your financial contributions. As a "parent", you will receive an adoption certificate, free entry to the park, and a small token of appreciation. In addition, you can participate in a special tour designated for adoptive parents. Of course, your name will be included on a wooden plaque placed directly at the enclosure of "your" animal. Once the adoption period expires, the ZOO will give you the plaque as a souvenir.

For the youngest visitors, there is also a children's playground and a children's world in the park to entertain them in case of inclement weather. You can also leave the park with a nice souvenir from the gift shop. There is also a bistro located within the premises.

A visit to Malkia Park will tug at your heartstrings. Whether you are big or small, the touching stories and the strong mission of the park, which decided to rescue suffering animals, will leave an emotion in you. The fact that someone helps those who cannot help themselves is simply admirable. If you have decided to visit, we recommend booking accommodation near Malkia Park. Why not take a proper trip with your family and visit other attractions in the surroundings of Dunajská Streda? In summer and winter alike, you will enjoy, for example, Thermalpark Dunajská Streda. We guarantee you unique experiences that neither you nor your little ones will forget.
