Úľany nad Žitavou combines natural and cultural attractions. The protected Mŕtve rameno Čiernej vody area is located within the cadastral territory, covering a section of the old riverbed of the Nitra. This landscape is complemented by further bodies of water, a signposted cycling route, historic ecclesiastical architecture and archaeological traces from several periods.
