Jalšové lies at the transition from the southern foothills of the Považský Inovec to the Považská section of the Danube Lowland. Road II/507 runs through Jalšové and connects Piešťany with Hlohovec.
Which hiking and cycling routes lead through Jalšové?
A marked hiking trail numbered 8147 leads from Jalšové to Ovčia skala and is 3.1 km long. Jalšové is the starting point and Ovčia skala the destination of this connection.
In 2026, JARNÝ POCHOD HP offered a 13 km route from Hlohovec via Ovčia skala to Jalšové. In the same year, JARNÝ POCHOD HP reached its 48th edition. Ovčia skala is therefore both the destination of trail 8147 and part of the route of JARNÝ POCHOD HP.
The annual Jesenný pochod Hlohovec–Piešťany includes a hiking route starting in Jalšové. For this event, the village is at the beginning of the hiking route.
The route of the Bike4you Hlohovec–Poniklec MTB marathon passes through Jalšové. In addition to the hiking routes, there is therefore also a specific cycling route through the village.
Trail 8147 and the route of JARNÝ POCHOD HP differ in length and course: the first connection runs for 3.1 km from Jalšové to Ovčia skala, while the second covers 13 km from Hlohovec via Ovčia skala to Jalšové.
When planning a day, two hiking distances must be considered: 3.1 km for trail 8147 and 13 km for JARNÝ POCHOD HP. The sequences of locations indicate different directions, namely Jalšové–Ovčia skala and Hlohovec–Ovčia skala–Jalšové. The Jesenný pochod starts in Jalšové; the Bike4you route passes through the village on the Hlohovec–Poniklec connection. The different types of routes therefore require separate planning for hiking and mountain biking.
