Kamenín There are few unique settlements in the Highlands where the local municipality has its own animal population. Kamenín is one of them. Kamenín is known for its short skirts. Nowadays it is called Little Hortobágy, because the soil in its boundaries is the same as in the Hortobágy. And if it’s the Little Hortobágy, it’s the home of grey cattle and mangalica pigs. The livestock population in the village has increased considerably. In the Salt Fields, grey cattle calves are poking their mothers as far as the eye can see, mangalica piglets run around the marsh, and the four-day-old foal of the country house is out in the yard for the first time. Many rare plants grow on the saline soils of the Kamenín Soil Field. For example, it is the only site in Slovakia where the Hungarian salt flower can be found. Special feature of Kamenín is the Sikes of Kamenín nature reserve / lookout The area is a habitat for special species of flora and fauna due to the particularly saline (high salt content) soil. The Kéméndi Sikes are not only a national but also a European unique by European standards. VI. Attila Geönczeöl’s winery We end our culinary adventure in a cosy winery in (Kamenica nad Hronom). Attila Geönczeöl’s winery is located in Kamenica nad Hronom, in the South Slovakian Wine Region. The headquarters are located in a press house built in 1882, with 3 cellar branches. The winery is a family business. Its wines are produced from the grapes grown in its vineyards in Mužla and Salka. The vines are managed in accordance with the rules of organic farming and the wines are made with artisan tools. Traditional methods are used, and the constant temperature cellars, dug deep into the hill, provide an excellent backdrop.
