Transmitter Zobor

Transmitter Zobor is a television and communication tower located on Zobor Hill near Nitrianske Hrnčiarovce, serving western Slovakia with broadcast signals. The facility uses concrete construction to distribute television and radio programming across the region from its elevated position.

The tower was built in 1993 and stands on a hill that once hosted a Benedictine monastery in the 11th century. The location also contains remnants from Bronze Age settlements, showing human presence across many centuries.

The transmission facility distributes television and radio programming throughout Slovakia, connecting communities through broadcast media and information sharing.

Several hiking trails provide access to the tower from nearby towns like Nitra and Dražovce and surrounding communities. The site is reached on foot via marked routes that start from various locations in the area.

The facility sits at roughly 587 meters in elevation and offers hikers panoramic views of the western Slovak landscape during their climb. This mix of technical function and natural views makes the walk worthwhile for reasons beyond just seeing the tower.
