Holiday apartment in Pažiť – Cycling, Nitra and history

Pažiť combines a riverside landscape, a regional cycling route and traces of several settlement periods. Watercourses, woodland, summer activities and historical evidence define the different aspects of the village.

Nature

Pažiť is directly adjacent to the Nitra River. The Drahožica stream runs along the edge of Pažiť, while the Pažický potok flows through Pažiť’s old district. Several named bodies of water, each in its own location, can therefore be found along the village.

Pažiť was established in the municipal area of Veľké Uherce on a meadow on the terrace of the Nitra and the Mohelnica stream. The southern part of Pažiť consists of woodland belonging to the CHKO Ponitrie protected landscape area. The river, streams and protected area are therefore among the village’s clearly identifiable geographical features.

Cycling

The Bojnický cyklookruh, a 162-kilometre regional cycling loop, runs through Pažiť. The route also passes through other municipalities in the Partizánske District. As a long, blue-marked cycling loop, the Bojnický cyklookruh can be completed in full in two days.

In addition, Pažiť and its surroundings offer opportunities for cycling, hiking, hunting and fishing during the summer months. Alongside the long loop route, this provides further activities in the village’s seasonal surroundings.

Culture

Pažiť is home to the Roman Catholic Church of Saint Dominic Savio, built in 1991. Construction of the present church began in 1966, initially as a “House of Mourning”, because the authorities of the time did not approve the construction of a church. On 23 November 1991, it was consecrated by Monsignor Rudolf Baláž.

Another historical connection leads to the manor farmyard: after 1868, a spacious building was erected there to house agricultural machinery and carts; it was called “MAŠINHAUS”. Near Pažiť, at Hradisko, there are settlement traces from the Early Bronze Age and the Hallstatt period, a cremation burial ground of the Lusatian culture from the Late Bronze Age, and a Celtic-Dacian settlement.

The medieval administration is also connected with the surrounding area. Pažiť and Uherce were administered by castellans who were based at Sivý Kameň Castle. Pažiť is also the final resting place of the writer Rudolf Uhlár (1904–1934).

Getting there

Pažiť has bus stops on both sides of the road. Public bus services are provided by SAD Prievidza using regional bus routes. Pažiť is located near road I/64, an east-west connection with access to the D1 motorway.

If you are viewing a holiday apartment in Pažiť or comparing several offers, it is worth taking a close look at the respective offer page. Check the exact location, type of accommodation, possible occupancy and included services there. Price components as well as booking and cancellation conditions should likewise be clearly stated. The specific details help you compare different options objectively, without making assumptions about their features. This keeps the decision focused on the location, scope and conditions of the individual offer rather than on assumptions about the village.
