marekg Says: altough they are forbidden in the canal, you can practise them nearby, in the locations technically belonging to the dam project
marekg Says: The dam enables people to simulate natural periodical floods that had been happening here times ago and were eliminated after WWII by regulating the river. The floods cause many animal species returned here.
marekg Says: the dam itself is probably what you have come here... and do not forget to see boats passing the lock chambers

Skipka Says: For sure the trip by boat from Bratislava. It depends what kind of boat you choose, slow one takes the whole day. Check the feature you will go through tail bay. Spectacular feeling especially when you see all those gigantic doors ;)opening and the boat is like a feather...

Make a trip there with "passing thru the doors"
Skipka Says: It is amazing and you will see such a huge system of doors how it works and how huge is it. When standing on a board you will think of how people are weak and small :) and what they can construct LOL
marekg Says: Gabcikovo dam and the powerplant was a target of one of our school excursions. Thus, we have been giuded 'inside' it. It´s always interesting to see machines working for technician, especially they´re a 'bit' larger.

Gabcikovo is just a village that has become known due to the dam built in the Danube river - a subject of argument between Slovakia and Hungary. Anyway, the dam is standing and often visited.
