Specially Protected Nature Area

The National Nature Reserve with an area of almost 129 hectares was declared in 1980 and is one of the most strictly protected areas in Slovakia, with a classification of 5. degree of protection. It is located in the Alpine biogeographical region and is administered by the State Nature Conservancy of the Slovak Republic, namely the Administration of the Malé Karpaty Protected Landscape Area.

The reserve was declared for the protection of rare dry-loving and thermophilic plant and animal communities bound to the limestone bedrock, as well as unique karst phenomena. The area also has significant archaeological value and serves as a space for scientific research, environmental education and cultural and educational activities. Thanks to its natural and historical value, it represents an important element of nature conservation in the Little Carpathians.

The future of Plavecke Podhradie

In addition to the existing infrastructure, new projects are gradually being prepared in the village to further enhance the quality of life - among them, for example, a planned senior house, smaller apartment housing or sports facilities for the public.

Although these plans are still in the preparatory phase, they already indicate that Plavecké Podhradie has the ambition to develop as an attractive place to live with an emphasis on community, access to services and an active lifestyle. This combination of natural surroundings and prospective development makes the site an exceptional place to live.
