Lustful cabbage and fruit were grown. In 1881, 14 mills worked on the mainstream of the river. They disappeared near a large ice floe in 1926, after which farmers used steam and electric roller mills in Bake and Šamorín.
Ship mills are characteristic technical monuments of the Danube landscape. The first water mills are documented from 1379 on the Danube in Bratislava, but they have probably been here before. Most watermills in this area existed in the second half of the 19th century. The well-known Hungarian polyhistor Matej Bel wrote about the activities of shipmills: “Since these mills, attached to the shore in a long line by constantly turning the mill wheels, swirl water in the manner of a twist, it happens that by swirling the water as many times as there are mill wheels, they cause waves. As it happens with the onslaught and with the force, the banks are inevitably washed away, and as much land is removed here, as much will be flooded on the opposite bank. "
Until 1965, the village was known for its folk architecture from the 19th Century. There were mud houses, smeared and whitewashed, with brick gables and gabled roofs. For the houses, loaf ovens for baking bread were built on a technical foundation, while on the Danube, conical fishing huts made of cane were built. The great flood of 1965 damaged these buildings and completely destroyed many. The only sacral monument in the village is the church built in 1996. The Slovak name has been used since 1948, in the years 1960 to 1987 the village was affiliated to the Upper Bar. Not far from Bodík is the natural monument Kráľovská lúka, which protects the rest of the dead branch of the Danube with water, swamp and meadow communities. On islands with floodplain forest, the Sea Eagle Island National Nature Reserve stretches among a tangle of Danube branches. In addition to the white-tailed eagle, which has its only nesting place in Central Europe, it is home to the great cormorant, the grove, the gray heron, the purple heron and other rare species of birds.
