The village is situated on the Danube plain (Podunajská nížina), on the left bank of the river Danube (Dunaj), 7 kilometers west of the town Štúrovo, near the state border with Hungary. It lies at an altitude of 107-222 meters above sea level.

The deforested area is part of a plain made up of alluvial deposits with gently undulating terrain, interspersed with watercourses. Towards the north there are gently rising terraces covered with loess. The northernmost part of the area flows smoothly into the southern slopes of the Belianske Hills (Belianske kopce). The area is mostly a plain, with marshy subsoil, in places saline black and brown earth.

Next to the church is the Millennium Pillar. In front of the church a monument dedicated to the victims of the World War I and II was erected.
