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.

The kids can still marvel at the world. They are curious. They are interested in the whys and the wherefores. They want to know how things are made. Be a child again, dare to be a curious researcher and explorer again! If you take this tour, you will get an answer to how chocolate or our daily bread is made, enter a meat factory and the world-famous Audi factory, and finally learn the secrets of wine-making in a winery.

Plenty to see along the way, meaning the tour can serve as a relaxing full-day program for participants. Have a go at it!
