A monumental waterworks complex on the Danube, popular with day-trippers, cyclists and visitors interested in engineering.
Discover the place
The Danube through engineering and landscape
The Gabčíkovo Waterworks is one of the Danube's major engineering structures. A trip combines views of water infrastructure with the river landscape and is also of interest to visitors who enjoy watching river traffic.
The original guide describes the complex's navigation and energy functions, the surrounding Danube branches and the ferry connection between Vojka nad Dunajom and Kyselica. Check these options separately when planning your route; they are not automatically included in a visit to the waterworks.
