The village of Hul

The word "hul" probably has the same meaning as the Czech "luh". In Old Slovak it means "hulné háje, porasty" ... Today, "hul" is no longer used in the sense of "hulné háje" and the Czech word "luh" has passed into Slovak. However, the village of Hul remained.

The first written mention of it comes from the year 1290. It is a document that was found in the Nitra Chapter. The village is mentioned there through a certain landowner, who is listed as Salamon de Hull, ie Mr. Salamon of Hulu. But people have lived here much earlier. Archaeologists have found objects even from the Iron, Bronze and even Stone Age. The Nové Zámky district has a very rich overall archaeological history. Like most of the surrounding villages, Hul changed noble owners, even divided into Malý and Veľký Hul in the 15th century and reunited after less than a hundred years. The Motešický manor house from the 18th century, together with the park and the statue of the Virgin Mary, belongs to the dominants and most interesting places of the village for tourists. During the war, there was a field hospital in it, then there was a school, a kindergarten and a school club. In the sixties, it was used by a local team and enough to see it in it. The landowner Motešický also had a small late Baroque church built in the Radava cemetery. Today, this Požitavská village is rediscovering tourism. It has become a part of the association of municipalities Mikroregión Termál, where there are also such municipalities as Podhájska, known for its thermal swimming pool. The whole of Požitavie is also known for its good wine and there are plenty of opportunities to taste it. A cycle route passes through the village, which connects the entire area of the region.

Organized cultural events are also interesting. Popular are the celebrations of the construction of "May", general days with a rich cultural program, New Year's Eve celebrations, a special competition for gourmets called Gastrofestival, a jubilee celebration or a youth ball with a really long tradition.
