The entrance to the village is from the north - from 2 km distant Dunajská Lužná and from the south - from about a kilometer distant Hamuliakov. The surroundings of Kalinkovo are characteristic of the western part of the Danube plain. There are fields around which mainly wheat, corn, sunflower and rape are grown. At the western tip of the village there is a Danube dam, behind which are the original floodplain forests and the Hrušovská reservoir. Before the construction of the Gabčíkovo waterworks, there was the Island of Cormorants. By raising the level of the Danube, the island was flooded with water, but the State Nature Reserve was preserved.
Today, Kalinkovo has a population of just over 1,000. The original German population was assimilated by the Hungarians for years during the Austro-Hungarian period, and these are gradually being replaced by Slovaks. Immigrants in particular to the area of Nové Kalinkovo in the southern part, where a completely new quarter of family houses was established in 2007-2010. In the future, Kalinkovo should continue to grow by Hrušovská Alley, which will grow behind Nový Kalinkovo.
In Kalinkov - thanks to the location outside the main road Bratislava - Komárno - traffic is not busy, but traffic to Bratislava in the early rush hour is complicated. In the near future, the construction of the R7 Expressway could solve this problem.
Kalinkovo provides the possibility of sports and cultural activities. The tradition is the football team FC Kalinkovo, which is also dedicated to the preparation, students and the "Old Gentlemen" also play their league. The dam behind the village provides an ideal opportunity for cycling, the pond at the football stadium for fishing in winter and for skating.
In Kalinkov, there is a reconstructed cultural house and services in a Roman Catholic church in Slovak and Hungarian.
