Short trips away from Senec<\/h1>\n

Tiger Sanctuary (10 minutes drive South) – \u00a0http:\/\/www.tigre.sk\/\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Good for a couple of hours, free entrance (but donations are expected). If you are lucky there will be some cubs playing, take care as the cages are not always locked with a padlock !<\/p>\n

Even mentioned in the UK press:<\/p>\n

\u010cerven\u00fd Kame\u0148 Castle (30 mins drive North) –\u00a0http:\/\/hradcervenykamen.sk\/?lang=en<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A nice 30 minute drive along the foot of the Carpathian mountain range. Tours of the castle in English at certain times, some weekends there are craft fairs and special events. A popular place for weddings.<\/p>\n

Small\/cheap\/good restaurant at the entrance of the castle serves traditional Slovak meals (soup!) and coffeeshop inside, open year round.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Modra (25 minutes drive North) –\u00a0https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Modra<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nice town famous for its wine\/vineyards, has an annual wine festival in September (with Police waiting to do breath testing as you drive home!). Has several good restaurants in the centre.<\/p>\n

You pass through Modra if you are going to \u010cerven\u00fd Kame\u0148 castle.<\/p>\n

There is \u00a0a very good restaurant between \u00a0Modra and \u010cerven\u00fd Kame\u0148 (on the main road, it looks like a concrete prison, you cant miss it)\u00a0http:\/\/www.elesko.sk\/<\/a>\u00a0. There is an art gallery attached.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jelka Watermill (25 minutes drive South) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Watermill along the small danube river, good for paddling\/swimming in the summer as the current is very small (not like the big danube!), cheap restaurant next to the mill or nice fish restaurant close to the watermill (Re\u0161taur\u00e1cia V Siedmom Nebi Fish Restaurant<\/a>\u00a0) with views of the fish farm (they serve fried cheese for vegetarians!)<\/p>\n

\u0160amor\u00edn (30 minutes drive South) – \u00a0https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/samorin<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A town set on the banks of the main Danube river. Head to Hotel Kormoran<\/a> (easy free parking) and walk through the nice park to the river. There are goats and a glass bridge along the way. Watchout for bicycles along the flat footpath along the river. Its a good place to collect driftwood from the river bank. Hotel Kormoran restaurant is Ok when they have monthly seasonal promotions (Asparagus month, wild game etc)<\/p>\n

If you like horses there is a great equestrian centre at xbionicsphere<\/a> by the river,\u00a0 they have a great aquapark and excellent Japanese\/Asian restaurant called Apani <\/a>(my kids favourite restaurant), in the Winter of 2020 they had an Ice skating rink as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
