Šajdíkove Humence: Landscape, Golf and Culture

Šajdíkove Humence combines a distinctive landscape with golf, cycling, hiking and small historic attractions. The town lies within the Myjava catchment area; the landscape includes wetlands, sand dunes and pine forests. This results in a clear mix for your travel decision: you can explore the natural area via named routes, choose golf courses as your main focus or place the local buildings and traditions at the centre of your visit.

Landscape, Hiking and Cycling

The Záhorácka magistrála, Route 0772, runs for 5.5 km through Šajdíkove Humence. This means that a specifically designated hiking route with a clearly stated length forms part of the local landscape. A second perspective is offered by the Senica–Šaštín cycling route. It runs along the Myjava through Šaštín-Stráže, Borský Mikuláš, Štefanov and Šajdíkove Humence. Its two sections are connected in the cadastral area of Šajdíkove Humence on Road III/1156. The cycling route thus places the town within a longer route along the Myjava, while the Záhorácka magistrála designates a 5.5 km section directly through Šajdíkove Humence.

Golf with Two Different Course Profiles

The Penati Golf Resort’s golf offering includes two 18-hole courses with different documented characteristics. The Heritage Course is the resort’s second 18-hole golf course and was ceremonially opened in August 2013. The Legend Course at Penati Golf Resort in Šajdíkove Humence was built according to plans by Nicklaus Design and meets USGA standards at world-class PGA level.

The 15th hole of the Legend Course is particularly notable: it is 712 metres long, is considered the longest hole in Central Europe and offers 11 tees. The Heritage Course is therefore defined by its opening history in August 2013, while the Legend Course is characterised by its Nicklaus Design planning, the standards mentioned and its exceptional 15th hole. This distinction helps you classify the golf offering not as a single uniform facility, but according to the respective characteristics described.

Historical and Cultural Heritage

The historical and cultural sights of Šajdíkove Humence include a wooden cross depicting the crucified Jesus, dating from 1951. The consecration of the Church of St Augustine also took place in 1951. The building belongs to 20th-century architecture, was built in the 1940s and consecrated in 1951.

The local historical and cultural heritage also includes a bell tower with a wooden roof. In the settlement of U Michálkov, House No. 169 is one of the best-preserved examples of the traditional folk architecture of Šajdíkove Humence. The heritage sites therefore differ clearly in form: the wooden cross and the church refer to religious history, the bell tower to a distinctive structure, and House No. 169 to traditional folk architecture.

Church Feasts as a Local Tradition

In Šajdíkove Humence, summer and autumn church feasts are celebrated in connection with the anniversary of the church’s consecration on 12 June. The fixed connection with 12 June places this tradition within the local church history and complements the architectural heritage with a recurring cultural occasion.
