Hlohovec: Holiday apartments and holiday homes

Hlohovec is located in the Lednice–Valtice landscape monument zone, whose distinctive cultural landscape was created mainly in the 18th and 19th centuries under the rule of the Liechtenstein family. In the village and its surroundings, historic buildings, protected bodies of water, forests, vineyards and traditional Moravian culture come together.

Culture and history

The Church of St Bartholomew in Hlohovec is a single-nave late Classicist building dating from 1832. Another prominent landmark is the Hraniční zámeček, a Classicist building erected on the banks of the Hlohovecký rybník in 1826–1827. Traditional Slovakian folk costume festivals are held in Hlohovec twice a year.

Landscape and bodies of water

The Hlohovecký rybník belongs to Hlohovec’s cadastral area. It is part of the interconnected system of the Lednické rybníky, which is protected to preserve birds and other animals, plant life and the character of the landscape. Stará hora rises west of Hlohovec, with Tertiary limestone on which remnants of steppe grassland have been preserved. The Boří les extends into the southeastern part of the municipality. The scenic Bezručova Alley also runs through the Hlohovec area.

Hiking and cycling

Cycle Route 411 connects Valtice, Hlohovec, the Hraniční zámeček and Lednice along a route of approximately 12 kilometres. Hlohovec is also a starting point for hikes and cycling tours between the Lednické rybníky, the former Liechtenstein forests and the vineyards.

Wine and regional cuisine

Visitors can drink wine in the local wine cellars. Local dishes from Hlohovec include opuchlé buchty, žgance and slížky.
