The water wheel mill in Jelka in southwestern Slovakia is one of the most remarkable technical monuments and is considered a Central European rarity . It is a three-storey wooden mill, which is not found in the surrounding states.
The mill stands on the left bank of the Little Danube , which creates a meandering riverbed in the cadastre of the village of Jelka in the length of 23 km with beautiful still lifes suitable for water tourism .
The oldest evidence of this mill dates from 1894. It was originally a ship's mill and it was not until 1900 that its reconstruction began. It originally belonged to Joseph Nemeth, followed by his son. After the reconstruction, milling began in August 1906. The mill worked until April 1951. Thanks to the Museum of National History in Galanta and the Municipal Office in Jelka, the building was reconstructed in 1992 and a small open-air museum focused on the village's agricultural past was built. The restored mill is currently open to the public. Near the mill there is a well-equipped camp for water tourists with the possibility of refreshments, camping, sports and mooring boats.

Little Danube (Boating areas and rivers)
Green Resort Hrubá Borša with 27 holes is located in the village Hrubá Borša near Senec. This area is a place where golf as a beautiful game not only appeals, but also grabs the heart. There is currently an 18-hole championship course (PAR 72) + a 9-hole public course (PAR 28) PUBLIC.
The course is a "fair course" with a minimum of high rafts. It does not penalize golfers for good punches. The total length of the course 6661 m and a number of natural obstacles create suitable conditions for an interesting and at the same time challenging game for experienced players. The intention is for both good players and beginners to enjoy the game perfectly. Players can also use the 9-hole public course (PAR 28) PUBLIC, which is a challenge for beginners as well as advanced players (971 m from the yellow and 779 from the red tees) due to the number of natural and modelled pitfalls. The indoor illuminated driving range, putting green with an area of 800 m2 and chipping area with an area of 2500 m2 and a training bunker also serve to train the game.

Delightful little town, which happens to be the heart of the wine region.
Where does one start? Here are some of Bratislava's most important places to visit:
Bratislava Castle: one of the most symbolic monuments of the Slovakian capital, this imposing castle is perched atop a hill on the banks of the Danube. Its fascinating history dates back to the 9th century, and it day it is home to the National Museum of Slovakia and offers excellent views over the city.
Blue Church: the St Elizabeth Church is better known by its striking bright blue colour, and is one of the best examples of a religious building in Art Nouveau style in Europe.
Old Town Hall: this 14th century complex of buildings houses the Bratislava City Museum, which was founded in 1868, making it Slovakia's oldest museum.
St Martin's Cathedral: the largest and one of the oldest churches in Bratislava, having been built in the 15th century, this imposing building was the coronation church of the Hungarian monarchs between 1563 and 1830.
Franciscan Church: consecrated in 1297, this church and monastery is the oldest religious building in Bratislava's old town. Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I was crowned King of Hungary here in 1526.
Michael's Gate: the only surviving city gate preserved from the four that surrounded Medieval Bratislava. Today, it houses the City Museum's weapons exhibition.
If you've got time and want to explore more of historical Bratislava, the Devin Castle is located 8 miles from the city centre, around a 30 minute journey on the number 29 bus from Novy Most (Most SNP). The ancient fortress is one of Slovakia's most important archaelogical sites and has played a significant role throughout the country's history, including being blown up during the Napoleonic Wars. Its Maiden Tower, a tiny watchtower perched perilously on a rock overlooking the Danube and Morava rivers, is a particularly photogenic spot.
In modernistic contrast with the city's historic centre, the Most SNP, also known as Novy Most or New Bridge, is home to a spaceship-shaped restaurant and observation deck. At 85m in height, it offers excellent views over Bratislava.

City information
Senec is a town in the Bratislava Region of south-western Slovakia. It is a well known summer tourism and recreation center. The town is attractive not only because of the proximity of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, but also because of the healthy environment and summer resort "Slnečné jazerá".
Senec is not only about attractions combined with the summer-time tourist season, lakes and sports. During the entire year, you can take yourself back a couple centuries in time by getting to know the relics documenting its ancient history.
The natural conditions predestine Senec for advancement in tourism. The moderate climate, warm water with an average of 25°C, sunshine for over 2200 hours a year, rich options for water sports, fishing, accommodation and catering and other services offered right in the area of the Slnečné jazerá make the city a sought-after tourist centre. On the grounds of the Slnečné jazerá, you’ll find hotels, bungalows, camping, playgrounds with sandpits, slides, swings and a summer cinema. In the hotel complex, you can play tennis, squash, bowling, billiard, minigolf and table tennis. Other services include massages, pools, saunas and fitness centres.
HISTORY
The historical development of Senec is traceable from the second half of the 13th century. A deed between a palatine and count Roland from Bratislava from 1252 can be considered as the oldest written message about Senec. In the 80’s of the 15th century the village got city privileges under the rule of king Matthias Corvinus.
MONUMENTS
Visitors of Senec may get to know the city’s history via the historic sights remaining in good condition. You’ll find the Immaculata plague pillar built in 1747 as a sign of thankfulness for ending the plauge and the Pillar of Shame built in 1552, at which offenders were publicly punished by whipping.
The only Jewish synagogue in the area was built in Senec in the year 1825, because Senec was a city with a large Jewish community.
The Large Stift was built in a renaissance style – its an extensive building, which first served as a squire manor house and later as a women‘s borstal, an orphanage and finally as a military training institution.
The Turkish House – a renaissance manor house from the second half of the 16th century is the most treasured sight on the main city square in Senec. It fulfilled security measures of the city and meetings of the Bratislava district board were held here.
The oldest historical-artistic building and a dominant feature of the city is the Church of Bishop St. Nicholaus, whichs foundations are gothic, but is baroque for a larger part after being rebuilt in the 18th century.

Water Edge-Runner Mill Jelka
The water wheel mill in Jelka in southwestern Slovakia is one of the most remarkable technical monuments and is considered a Central European rarity . It is a three-storey wooden mill, which is not found in the surrounding states.
The mill stands on the left bank of the Little Danube , which creates a meandering riverbed in the cadastre of the village of Jelka in the length of 23 km with beautiful still lifes suitable for water tourism .
The oldest evidence of this mill dates from 1894. It was originally a ship's mill and it was not until 1900 that its reconstruction began. It originally belonged to Joseph Nemeth, followed by his son. After the reconstruction, milling began in August 1906. The mill worked until April 1951. Thanks to the Museum of National History in Galanta and the Municipal Office in Jelka, the building was reconstructed in 1992 and a small open-air museum focused on the village's agricultural past was built. The restored mill is currently open to the public. Near the mill there is a well-equipped camp for water tourists with the possibility of refreshments, camping, sports and mooring boats.
