Moravany nad Váhom is a small village just north of Piešťany, renowned for the discovery of the Moravany Venus, a Paleolithic figurine carved from mammoth tusk dating back over 22,000 years. The original is housed in the Slovak National Museum in Bratislava, but the village celebrates its archaeological heritage with a replica and informational displays. Visitors can explore the peaceful rural setting along the Váh River, visit the local church, and learn about the region's ancient past. The site offers a glimpse into prehistoric life in the Danube basin.
