District of Levice

The Hron River defines the eastern side of the District of Levice — its valley crosses a largely lowland area where fields and wine-growing villages meet the southern foothills of the Štiavnica Mountains. The district seat, Levice, developed around a medieval castle whose surviving fortifications contain the Tekov Museum. This part of southern Slovakia has an inland character shaped by farming, small settlements and routes leading north towards central Slovakia’s former mining towns. Brhlovce, within the district, is known for its dwellings carved into tuff, created as shelter during the Ottoman threat.
