Holiday apartment in Súdovce: Vineyards, Churches and Wide Horizons

Súdovce is home to a legally protected Ginkgo biloba estimated to be 260 years old, which was formerly part of a park with a manor house. This remarkable tree marks the beginning of a local history in which the landscape, viticulture, churches and preserved structural traces lie closely alongside one another.

Nature and Landscape

Súdovce lies in the valley of the Veperec stream on the southwestern edge of the Krupinská planina. At Vinica Jerusalem, the horizon reaches beyond Hontianske Moravce and along the Ipeľ as far as the Börzsöny Mountains in Hungary. The Súdovská cycling route also leads to viewpoints near Staré vinice, Berený háj and Kôrčiny. The vineyards are concentrated around the municipality in the Chrástavky and Zajfrtky areas.

Culture and History

The former park of the manor house in Súdovce received an award at the World Exhibition in Budapest in 1884. Only part of the south wing of the manor house itself has survived. West of the houses in Súdovce, red-fired clay remains can be seen in ploughed soil. South of the village, the so-called Spečený val has also been documented over a length of 1.4 km.

The Evangelical church in Súdovce was built in 1932. It has a Neoclassical altar with a painting by D. Šuba from 1932 depicting Jesus on the Mount of Olives. The church is in good condition and continues to serve its religious purpose. Independently of it stands the Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, which dates from 1999.

Wine and Tastings

Viticulture was historically the most important local activity in Súdovce, as shown by the municipal seal from 1668. A new vineyard with a wine cellar has been established in Borháze. The village landscape thus reflects both the historical importance of viticulture and a newly established vineyard area with its own cellar.

Local Products

The tasting selection includes at least 14 types of oil and four types of homemade mustard, as well as other products made in-house. In Súdovce, a guided tour of the production process with live pressing is available. Guided tastings of the producer’s own products are also offered.

Cycling Route

The Súdovská cycling route runs from Dudince via Lišov and Súdovce back to Dudince. It is 33 km long and is one of the more demanding routes. Its viewpoints near Staré vinice, Berený háj and Kôrčiny connect the route with the landscape views mentioned above.
