The mistletoe lies on the Danubian lowland between the rivers Nitra and Zittau ten kilometers south of Nové Zámky and twenty kilometers north of Komárno. The western part of the area consists of wet meadows, which are an excellent habitat for swamp birds, such as the protected white-footed booby. The eastern part, on the other hand, is covered with sandy vegetation with important nests of steppe birds, among which you can find a beautifully colored golden beekeeper. The founders of the village are considered to be the descendants of the Kabar-Hungarian fighting associations, who in the tenth century gradually abandoned the nomadic way of life and began to devote themselves to agriculture. The name of the village itself is derived from the Kabarian word "inäl", meaning an important person. The history of the village was marked by more than a century of Turkish rule. At the first census of Hungary in the second half of the eighteenth century, Imeľ had 129 houses and 867 inhabitants. A manorial slaughterhouse, a blacksmith's workshop and a tavern were established here. Another significant development was recorded in the village in the interwar period. The population was engaged in the cultivation of tobacco, grapes, fruit, field crops and livestock. The village began to write new history after World War II.
