The city of Dunajská Streda is located in an area with many scarce species of plants and animals (mainly birds) and the largest reservoir of drinking water in Central Europe. Sought-after tourist landmarks of the region include thermal pools and technical historic buildings – water mills.

DUNAJSKÁ STREDA (population of 23 519) lies in the Podunajská nížina lowland, in the middle of Žitný ostrov – the largest river island in Europe. The city is a notable economic and cultural centre of the region. The name of the town (Danube Wednesday) is sourced from a privilege, which allowed hosting a marketplace in the area of today’s city every Wednesday.
