The natural area includes the protected Vlčkovský háj near the left bank of the Dudváh, on the boundary between the cadastral areas of Vlčkovce and Majcichov. A relic of an oak-elm-ash floodplain forest grows there and is protected because it is home to endangered plant and animal species. Vlčkovský háj also has a rich population of snowdrops, a spring-flowering plant from the amaryllis family.
Culture and history
The Church of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux was built in 1930 based on a design by the architect Michal Milan Harminc. The single-nave building has a transept and an asymmetrically positioned western tower; its exterior is inspired by Romanesque architecture. The present church stands on the site of an older church, from which several sculptures and paintings were transferred to its interior.
