Holiday apartment in Kľačany: Nature, Church and History

Kľačany lies in the Trnavská pahorkatina uplands, which stretch from Trnava to the Nitra District and are situated at approximately 290 metres above sea level. The regional landscape designation and approximate elevation place the village within this extensive natural area. The larger regional extent of the uplands and the municipal area thus create a clearly defined geographical framework for Kľačany.

Nature

The Andač stream rises in a small grove between Hlohovec and Kľačany and flows through Kľačany before joining the Radošinka.

Oak forests and mixed forests occur in and around Kľačany. The Mladý háj forest area also includes the cadastral territory of Kľačany; oak-hornbeam forests can be found there.

The spring snowflake is one of the rare protected plants in Kľačany. The occurrence of the European ground squirrel has also been confirmed in the Mladý háj forest area; currently, this area is considered the species' only known occurrence site in the district. The plant and animal population each have their own spatial context: the spring snowflake is associated with Kľačany, while the ground squirrel is associated with the Mladý háj forest area.

Several of the natural features mentioned above are therefore located together in the Mladý háj forest area: the cadastral territory of Kľačany, the oak-hornbeam forests and the confirmed population of European ground squirrels are all situated there, while the spring snowflake remains associated with Kľačany as a protected plant.
