The Komárno region is located on the left bank of the Danube, at the eastern tip of Žitný ostrov, at the lower reaches of the Malý Dunaj, Nitra and Žitava.
It is therefore not only the southernmost, but also the lowest place in the Slovak Republic. The flat lowlands are dotted with countless agate forests, rich in nectar, willow and poplar stands by the rivers and small sandy hills in the northeastern part of the region.
The district includes 40 municipalities with a population of 108,911 on an area of 1,045 km2. It is one of the most fertile areas in Slovakia, growing mainly cereals, vegetables and fruits. It is known for its nature reserves with many diverse animal species and protected plant communities and rivers with an abundance of fish. Natural conditions and some peculiarities, including thermal springs with healing effects, allow free swimming until late autumn. The Komárno district provides accommodation for tourists in five hotels, three boarding houses, three tourist hostels and one caravan park with year-round operation.
Komárno belongs to the Danube road, just as the spicy pepper from Dolninice belongs to roasted Danube carp. Cargo boats and hard-working tugs roam the river all year round until they are stopped by too low water or ice. Passenger shipping is also coming to life, giving passengers more room to perceive the landscape than a closed express coupe.
