Holiday apartment in Strekov – vineyards, nature and culture

Strekov has 300 hectares of vineyards. In the Strekov wine region, the vineyards lie on south-west-facing slopes at an altitude of 200 to 240 metres; the region includes wine-growing communities from Mužla to Dvory nad Žitavou. The calcareous clay and loamy soils and the special microclimatic conditions in Strekov are considered particularly suitable for growing high-quality vines. Growing grapes and making wine have a long tradition in the families of Strekov.

Wine and regional tradition

The Strekovský vínny festival has taken place every year in July since 2008. The two-day event includes tastings of local and foreign wines among vineyards and cellars. A tour leads through 180 cellars in five rows of vineyards and conveys the vineyards’ special atmosphere. Kasnyik Family Winery can prepare wine tastings in a family atmosphere, including tours of the winery and vineyards, on request. Emma Winery offers visitors tastings of its natural wines during wine festivals.

Culinary traditions also have a firm place in Strekov. The Kőtésfesztivál takes place every spring in the Strekov community centre and has been dedicated to preserving traditional fasting dishes from earlier generations since 2004. The festival presents Kőtés as a traditional Hungarian fasting dish and contributes to its reintroduction into Hungarian gastronomic culture. The Strekovský autentický dvor will take place for the thirteenth time in 2026.

Nature

The protected Parížske močiare wetland also includes parts of the cadastral area of Strekov. Parížske močiare is the only place in Slovakia where the breeding of the very rare Moustached Warbler (Acrocephalus melanopogon) has been reliably documented. The water areas with stands of reeds, bulrushes and sedges provide suitable breeding habitat for other important bird species, including the Little Crake (Porzana parva), Garganey (Anas querquedula) and Little Bittern (Ixobrychus minutus).

Culture

A Calvary is located at the pilgrimage site of Cigléd outside the built-up area of Strekov. The Stations of the Cross in Cigléd connect two chapels. Strekov is home to the Baroque All Saints Church, built in 1755 and remodelled in 1929. The church is in good condition and continues to serve its religious purpose.

Trails

The planned Strekov–Svodín Educational Trail is 9.6 kilometres long. Its information boards cover rare animal and plant species of the surrounding landscape, the pilgrimage site of Cigléd, folk traditions, cultural and historical monuments in Strekov and Svodín, and the Central European Marian Route. Six information boards, each measuring 1.8 × 1.2 metres, and twelve signposts were produced for the trail. It is intended to begin and end at the Roman Catholic churches in Strekov and Svodín.

Booking and cancellation conditions should also be clearly stated before finalising a booking. This makes it possible to assess the terms of the specific offer independently, without mixing up local features and property information.
