Holiday apartment in Dubovec: Rimava, nature and culture

Culture

The cultural history of Dubovec is reflected in various forms. Dubovec originally belonged to Blh Castle. A statue of Saint John dating from 1787 stands in the square in Dubovec. St. Ladislaus Church in Dubovec was originally a Gothic church from the 14th century. In the mid-18th century, it was given a Baroque makeover and a new vault. It has a Rococo pulpit with sculptures of the Evangelists. The historical references thus range from its association with the castle and a dated monument to the architectural form and furnishings of the church. The building history therefore encompasses its Gothic origins in the 14th century and the Baroque alterations, including the new vault, in the mid-18th century. The Rococo pulpit belongs to the later furnishings and adds sculptural depictions of the Evangelists to the building history.

Landscape

Dubovec lies in the southern part of the Rimavská kotlina basin, on a terrace on the left bank of the Rimava. The landscape around Dubovec comprises a river plain and hilly terrain with pronounced terraces along the Rimava. The bedrock around Dubovec consists of Tertiary marls, claystones and sandstones covered by river deposits and loess loams. Different geological materials thus meet distinctive landforms of the river area and hilly terrain. The geographical description combines the location in the basin, the terrace on the riverbank, and the forms of the river plain and hilly terrain. The terrace refers to the location on the left bank, while the river plain and terraces distinguish the landscape forms along the Rimava more precisely. The materials mentioned describe both the geological bedrock and the overlying deposits.

Nature

The cadastral area of Dubovec is part of the Cerová vrchovina a Rimavská kotlina Natura 2000 site. In the protected area of Cerová vrchovina a Rimavská kotlina, warm and dry conditions provide suitable habitats for the breeding and survival of the woodlark, Eurasian scops owl and European bee-eater. The nature of the area is also illustrated by a specific winter observation: during a winter waterbird count on the section of the Rimava between Dubovec and Jesenské, one grey heron, 262 mallards and one grey wagtail were observed. The count links the river section with a precisely named selection of species and a recorded number. The protected-area designation applies to the shared area of Cerová vrchovina and Rimavská kotlina. The species information distinguishes between suitable habitats and a single documented count: the woodlark, Eurasian scops owl and European bee-eater represent the stated breeding and survival conditions, while the waterbird count records the section between Dubovec and Jesenské together with its specific observations.
