Trnovec nad Váhom between the Váh, nature and history

Trnovec nad Váhom is located on the left-bank embankment of the Váh River in the eastern part of the Danubian Lowland. When planning a visit, nature, history, activities and a connection to a local event can be considered here as clearly separate topics alongside one another.

Nature

The Trnovecké mŕtve rameno Váhu protected area covers 6.58 hectares. The protected area includes softwood floodplain forests of willows and poplars, as well as wetland communities. An oak tree in Trnovec nad Váhom is 18.5 metres high, has an estimated age of 120 years and a trunk circumference of 319 centimetres. If you consider aspects of nature side by side for your planning, the area size, vegetation and the specific measurements of an individual tree differ here.

Culture and history

The Kostol Premenenia Pána church was built in 1725 at the request of the then landowner Štefan Hunyadi. The bell in the bell tower is a movable national cultural monument in the Historicist style dating from 1911.

During a rescue excavation in 1975, three graves of the Nitra culture were uncovered in Trnovec nad Váhom. When comparing historical topics, the building, the listed monument furnishings and the archaeological find can be considered as separate approaches. Together, these testimonies lead from sacred architecture through protected historic furnishings to an archaeological find, thereby connecting different historical approaches to the history of the area without any single object determining the entire section.

Activities

The Hubert Arrows archery club is based at the Hubert sport shooting range between Trnovec nad Váhom and Selice and focuses on sport and 3D archery with traditional, modern and compound bows. At Strelnica Hubert, visitors can shoot at four shotgun ranges and one rifle range.

The type of sport, type of bow and type of range indicate different forms of activity; these details can be considered separately when structuring your day.

Getting around

The 41.5-kilometre, easy leisure route Okolo Váhu leads via Selice and Trnovec nad Váhom back to Šaľa. The Bratislava–Nové Zámky railway line runs through Trnovec nad Váhom.

The longest railway bridge in the ŽSR network lies between Šaľa and Trnovec nad Váhom and is 445.790 metres long. The Vážska cyklomagistrála cycling route runs under the railway bridge. The route and the railway infrastructure bring together different references to distance and movement. For your own planning, the 41.5 kilometres of the leisure route and the 445.790 metres of the bridge can be read as separate measurements.

When planning a trip to Trnovec nad Váhom, a hotel can serve as a separate point of comparison alongside nature, culture and activities. Accommodation pages list travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions; these details can be compared objectively side by side when different travel plans and budgets are being considered.
