Holcíkovce: Holiday apartment by the Veľká Domaša Reservoir

Holcíkovce combines a distinctive landscape setting with many opportunities centered around the water. The village lies in the southern part of the Ondavská vrchovina hills, in the valley of the Ondalík stream and on the eastern shore of the Veľká Domaša Reservoir. There are also opportunities for stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, windsurfing, other water sports and relaxing hours at the beach.

Nature

The geographical setting makes the different aspects of the village immediately understandable: Holčíkovce is located not only in the hilly landscape of the Ondavská vrchovina, but also in the Ondalík valley and on the eastern shore of the Veľká Domaša Reservoir. Those who choose a holiday apartment in Holcíkovce therefore find landscape and water side by side as the thematic setting, without the village being reduced to just one of these two aspects.

History

The history of the village is also documented in writing at an early date. The oldest surviving written references to Holčíkovce are found in documents issued by King Sigismund from 1408 and 1410. These documents concern the donation of the Stropkov estate to the nobles of Perín; the village of Holčíkovce was therefore also part of this estate. The historical connection is thus directly associated with Stropkov, the estate at that time and the aforementioned nobles of Perín.

Water

There are several specific points of interest by the water in Holčíkovce. Palma Bistro is located directly on the shore of the Domaša Reservoir in the municipality of Holčíkovce. The bistro rents out paddleboards, or SUPs, directly at the beach in Holčíkovce. This allows beginners and experienced riders to explore Domaša from the water. The description explicitly mentions both experience levels and connects the offer with exploring the reservoir from an unusual perspective.

Water sports also include SURFCLUB Domaša Holčíkovce. It is the home port of the Akademik Yacht Club of the Technical University of Košice. SURFCLUB has coaches and instructors for fleet sailing and water sports. It also organizes summer camps for children and young people, featuring training in sailing, windsurfing and other water sports. Children and young people are named as a separate participant group, while the club's offerings include both sailing and other forms of water sports.

Experiences

The Eva Leisure Centre in Holčíkovce combines two different ways of spending time by the water: visitors can sunbathe on a grassy beach and also enjoy water sports there. The beach is explicitly described as grassy; the centre is likewise associated with the provision of water sports.

In the vicinity of Holčíkovce, the Veľká Domaša Reservoir from the dam to the road bridge near the municipality of Lomné is designated as a carp fishing area and is used by the Slovak Anglers' Association. This designation applies to the specified section between the dam and the road bridge near Lomné. Another way to enjoy experiences in the countryside was the tourist route from Wola Sękowa to Holčíkovce. There were two options: by bicycle and by car. Tasks and interactive games in the countryside combined adventure, entertainment and education.

Accommodation

When choosing a holiday apartment in Holcíkovce, you can use your preferred way of spending the day as a starting point: water activities, peaceful hours and cultural discoveries stand alongside one another as different focuses. The decision remains guided by your personal preferences; no specific amenities or particular offer are prescribed for this purpose.
