Holiday apartment in Lewenz – culture, viticulture and nature reserves

Lewenz combines cultural and historical heritage with natural areas and wine-growing regions. The spectrum ranges from archaeological periods and sacred buildings to protected landscapes, educational trails and regional viticulture. As a result, different themes come together here, each of which can be associated with specific places and facilities.

Culture and history

At the Tekov Museum, the archaeology exhibition covers social development from the Stone Age to the early Middle Ages in the museum’s area of activity. It also includes the Želiezovce, Maďarovce and Čaka cultures, which are named after archaeological sites in the Levice District. The Tekov Museum also offers exhibitions, classical music concerts and lectures. Organised events include Museum and Gallery Night as well as Museum Week.

One of the notable buildings is the Church of St Michael the Archangel. It was built by the Esterházy family between 1773 and 1780 after a major city fire. Dobó Manor is a two-storey Renaissance fortified manor house built in the second half of the 16th century. The first synagogue in Levice was built in 1853 or 1854.

The Levická Calvary comprises 14 Stations of the Cross chapels and the restored remains of a historic church from the 18th century. In the former Schoeller manor cellars beneath the Calvary, wines from local producers can be tasted by prior arrangement.

Nature and viticulture

The Levické rybníky protected area on the Perec stream was designated in 1974. It covers 91.83 hectares and directly borders the built-up area of Levice. There is also a recreational zone at Levické rybníky, established in 2013. Information panels explain the origins and importance of the area as well as its flora and fauna.

Krížny vrch is home to more than 70 hectares of vineyards and around 250 Hajloks, meaning wine cottages. The educational trail in the Krížny vrch wine-growing area in Levice runs between these Hajloks. Another protected landscape is Horšianska dolina: it is a national nature reserve in which protection levels 3 and 4 apply; part of the area is of European importance.

Experiences and leisure

The educational trail on the Levická Calvary provides information about the history of the site as well as its flora and fauna. It includes a panoramic board with views of the surroundings of Levice. In favourable weather, the observation tower on the Levická Calvary is accessible on Sundays and public holidays from May to October, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.

Leisure activities include the Margita–Ilona facility. It is located 6 km from Levice in the direction of Šahy, in the Kalinčiakovo district, and comprises an outdoor swimming pool with four pools as well as sports grounds.
