Malé Ripňany – Culture, Riverside Location and Hotels

Malé Ripňany lies along the middle course of the Radošinka, where it meets the Hlavinka. At the same time, Malé Ripňany is an important archaeological site. Thus, the riverside location and the history of the settlement stand side by side from the outset: the municipality can be understood both through its geographical position and through its historical evidence.

Sport and Cycling

The municipality’s sports facilities include a multifunctional playing field with artificial turf, fencing and boards for ball games. The facility measures 33 x 18 metres and is used for sporting activities by residents and visitors to the municipality. The playing field is suitable in particular for small-sided football, nohejbal, tennis and volleyball. Reservations for the multifunctional playing field must be arranged in advance with the operator or administrator.

A precisely timed cycling event associated with the municipality is the 20th international cycling event DHL SereďMaratón. It passed through Malé Ripňany on 24 May 2026. The peloton passed through the municipality between Veľké Ripňany and Biskupová from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The route through the settlement is therefore linked to a clearly identified section of the event and a defined time window. The period from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. lasts forty minutes and limits the passage to this section of the event day.

Culture and History

The archaeological significance of Malé Ripňany is reflected in the fact that the municipality is an important archaeological site. Dance events and exhibitions are occasionally held at the cultural centre in Malé Ripňany. Thus, both archaeological evidence and occasional cultural events form part of the local offering. The two formats are mentioned without any fixed regularity: dance events and exhibitions take place occasionally.

The Chapel (Church) of St Anthony of Padua is part of the area’s architectural history. It was built in 1800 as a Neoclassical chapel made of unfired bricks. In 1948, it was extended by a transverse structure. In 1990, the chapel was renovated, more precisely, remodelled.

In addition, payment methods, deadlines and the individual cost components can be checked separately and directly on the respective offer page under the stated conditions.
