The Váh is the longest river in Slovakia and forms the eastern border of the Rye Island (Žitný ostrov); it flows into the Danube River at the town of Komárno. The floodplain forests on the banks of the river are similar to those that enrich the banks of the Danube. The coastline is sandy at some places, almost “beach-like”, which makes it easy for enthusiasts to push their boats into the water. The one-day water tour we offer starts in the town of Kolárovo and ends in Komárno at the confluence of the two rivers. The distance is a total of 23 km offering a 5-hour boat trip for the lovers of active tourism. However, if you wish to add sightseeing to your water tour, both the starting point and the destination are perfect for this purpose. Perhaps the best-known watermill in the Rye Island is the ship mill in Kolárovo, which commemorates the agricultural history of the area. Komárno is also a perfect destination for sightseeing, especially for those who love history, as the fortification system and the György Klapka Square are also sights one should not miss.

A trip through space and time! Come with us and experience living history.

When you look up at them, you will see the past come to life. They each keep a page of living history and tell the story to those who will listen. Some are old, some new, some legendary, some antique, some modern, some made of wood and others of metal, some colorful, some somber. Their common trait, however, is that they all add something special to the inimitable atmosphere of the downtown. They provide sights to behold 24/7, they are places to meet up at and serve as town curiosities. These are the trade signs of Győr. We have collected a few of these for you to seek out and you may also want to add your favorites to the list.
