Culture

The museum in Trebišov is housed in a Baroque-Classical mansion in the town park with a French garden. The mausoleum of Count Július Andrássy in Trebišov was built in 1893 in the Neo-Gothic style, based on a design by the German architect Arthur Meining. The sarcophagus dates from 1893 to 1895 and was created by the Budapest sculptor Juraj Zala.

The Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary in Trebišov has been a national cultural monument since 1963 and features Rococo paintings in 63 fields of the Gothic net vaulting of the chancel and nave.

Nature

The Boršiansky les protected area in the cadastral territory of Borša in Trebišov District preserves a habitat of European importance with lowland-type willow-poplar floodplain forests (91E0). Species of European importance include the stag beetle (Lucanus cervus), thick-shelled river mussel (Unio crassus), and fire-bellied toad (Bombina bombina). Protection levels 2 and 3 apply to the area; it covers 7.93 ha.

The administration of the Latorica Protected Landscape Area is responsible for the territories of Michalovce and Trebišov districts.

Medzibodrožie consists of a network of river branches and periodically flooded habitats with adjacent floodplain forests, as well as floodplain meadows and pastures. The area protects characteristic breeding birds, including the ferruginous duck (Aythya nyroca), black tern (Chlidonias niger), little egret (Egretta garzetta), great egret (Egretta alba), purple heron (Ardea purpurea), Eurasian bittern (Botaurus stellaris), whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybridus), common redshank (Tringa totanus), and European bee-eater (Merops apiaster).

The Východoslovenská rovina is predominantly characterised by intensively farmed agricultural land; its steppe character benefits several bird species.

The critically endangered European pond turtle breeds regularly in the Tajba area; the area is also home to waterfowl. The Tajba National Nature Reserve is a former channel of the Bodrog and is subject to the strictest, fifth level of protection.

Borsuk is home to a protected occurrence of thermophilous vegetation with rare protected plant species, including Dictamnus albus and Iris pumila. An obsidian deposit was also discovered in the andesitic area above the vineyards.

Wine and Water

Medieval Tokaj wine cellars along the Tokaj Wine Route are carved into volcanic tuff. Borsi Rákóczi Castle offers an interactive exhibition, an escape room, a virtual experience game, and panoramic projections.

The boat trip on the Bodrog begins at a boat harbour behind Viničky and can continue to Sárospatak in Hungary or to Tokaj.

Routes

Trebišov is considered the gateway to the Tokaj wine region in Slovakia. The Tokaj Wine Route passes through Bara, Čerhov, Černochov, Malá Tŕňa, Slovenské Nové Mesto, Veľká Tŕňa, and Viničky, as well as through the places of Borša, Ladmovce, and Zemplín, which are historically connected with the Tokaj microregion. The Dolnozemplínska cycling route runs for 22.5 km from Čerhov to Viničky. A 3.5 km section runs between Borša and Viničky and continues towards Zemplín along the embankment of the Bodrog. The Lesíkom cycle path runs for 10.2 km from Čerhov to Veľká Tŕňa through the forests of the Zemplín Hills and connects the two wine-growing villages via forest roads.

The Tokaj Lookout Tower is a 12-metre-high tower modelled after a wooden barrel, located in the vineyards between Malá Tŕňa and Černochov. It has a shelter and a children’s playground. It serves as a rest stop for tourists, cyclists, and families with children and offers views of the Tokaj region and its vineyards.
