Malé Ludince: Vineyards, History and Cycle Route

Malé Ludince is home to a Reformed church with a Baroque masonry pulpit dating from 1780 and painted wooden Protestant galleries dating from 1894, which were restored in 1904.

Landscape

Malé Ludince lies at the western foothills of the Ipeľská pahorkatina in the Hron Valley. The municipality is predominantly characterized by flat to hilly, largely deforested terrain. Acacia groves grow only on the steeper slopes of the hilly landscape. The spatial connection between the valley, the foothills and the open areas is therefore one of the town's clear geographical characteristics.
