The Dunajské luhy (Danube floodplain) protected landscape area in Slovakia is a fascinating region for nature lovers. If you are specifically looking for a "shelter by the water", it is most likely the birdwatching hide at the Hrušov reservoir, which is often referred to exactly like that in hiking and cycling circles (e.g. on Komoot).

At this time (June 29th) the lake is covered with green algae (small water inflow + high temperatures). Therefore, I recommend coming here in early spring.
