And thirdly, Čunovo has an attractive location in the Central Europe scale: it lies near the border with Hungary and Austria, right on the waterway Danube-Main-Rhine.

An attractive and easily accessible locality

The investor on the basis of the approved planning scheme of the zone filed the first application on the construction of infrastructure, as confirmed by the project manager of the company Katarína Bednárová, and also justified the postponement of the start of the complex implementation: "Preparatory works are due to specific technical requirements of the territory of very time-consuming, so we moved the start of the construction to the end of 2009. “The master plan is in its stage of progress in a foreign architect office by her information.

On the surface of 220 ha would gradually grow a huge sports and relaxation complex in the coming years, which will rank among the top facilities of its kind in the Europe by its parameters and equipment. The Danubia Park takes the territory from the Polder behind Čunovská hať (water-gate) to the Hungarian border and will be easily accessible by all possible modes of transport: by car from the nearby motorway D2, air – in the close vicinity is the Bratislava but also the Vienna international airport and even by a bicycle – on the park area there are crossing international bicycle lanes, i.e. Slovak-Hungarian and Slovak-Austrian ones. Of course the tempting Danube waterway is also available there.

Nobody was forgotten literally

The Danubia Park has all the elements to become a popular holiday resort, but also an international sports centre (and not just water) to the „amateurs“, as well as top athletes. The heart of the future area will become a multifunctional sports centre. Visitors will have cross-country lanes, bicycle lanes, tennis courts, indoor and outdoor areas for different ball games, climbing walls and etc. A recreation water port with yards will serve to watermen, ensuring not only anchoring but also maintenance and servicing ships and boats and a water ski tow.

An aquapark with a water world and numerous water chutes, a wellness centre and a playground reserved for children, specifically aimed to the individual ages, will not be missing. The wide range of possibilities for leisure time will supplement public beaches, but also a lively open-air museum with an exposure of the Danube culture, objects of traditional architecture, demonstrations of folk crafts and habits.

In further two phases concrete objects would be implemented, which will be given the public to use it immediately after completion. Initially, it was assumed that the Danubia Park comes into its final form in 2014. Today it is more than probable that neither the date of completion will also be delayed.
