Holiday apartment in Ivanice: Local History and Landscape

Ivanice can be explored through several specific details of its local history and landscape.

Culture

Ivanice was first mentioned in writing in 1245. The historical names Iwan (1245), Ivanfalua (1427), Iwanyi (1786), Ivanovce (1920) and Ivanice (1927) are also recorded for the village.

During Ottoman rule, Ivanice was partly depopulated. A particularly significant example of the local architectural heritage is the Neoclassical Reformed church. It is the oldest monument in the municipality, was built in 1797 and was remodelled and adapted in the 20th century. Its present appearance therefore combines the building's historical origins with later alterations.

Landscape

Ivanice lies in the southern part of the Rimavská kotlina Basin, on the floodplain and a terrace of the Blh. The village centre is situated at an elevation of 168 metres.

The unforested municipal area of Ivanice on the terraces of the uplands and the river floodplain consists of Tertiary marls, claystones and sandstones. These rocks are covered by river deposits and loess loams. The soils also reflect different landscape areas: Ivanice has brown earth, alluvial and gley soils. Geology, overlying deposits and soil types are therefore among the specific features of the municipal area.

Nature

There are no protected areas in the cadastral territory of Ivanice, neither large-scale nor small-scale protected areas, no bird protection area, no proposed site of European importance and no Natura 2000 protected areas. This classification describes the protection status of the entire cadastral territory across its various categories.

A groundwater survey by the Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute for 2023 lists a site called Studňa pri Blhu in Ivanice.

If you are comparing holiday apartments in Ivanice, take your time to review the specific offer pages. Before booking, you can check the exact location, type of accommodation, occupancy, included services, individual price components, and booking and cancellation conditions there. You can compare several offers based on the same points. Also pay attention to whether the stated costs are broken down in full and what conditions apply to changes or cancellations. Check whether the occupancy is specified for the number of people in your planned party. It is also worth checking how the number of people is defined in the offer and whether separate information is required for children. If several price components are listed, one-off and recurring costs should be clearly distinguishable. With regard to the conditions, it is important whether deadlines, refunds or possible changes are expressly described. You can also compare the spelling of the place name and the stated address on the respective offer page before making your choice. Comparing these points provides a reliable basis for your personal decision.
