Tomášikovo is a small village a few kilometres south of Galanta. A kilometre beyond the village is the Malý Dunaj, a slow-moving branch of the Danube. There are signs to the mill from the village, but some are small and hand-painted, so you will need your wits about you if you are not to end up on a minor Slovak safari down rutted tracks. The area is a maze of streams and canals which separate and re-join to form a delta-like landscape with the odd house or fishing hut appearing amid copses of trees. The mill is in an idyllic spot. Now a branch of the Homeland Museum in Galanta, it is manned by a friendly chap whose main occupation seems to be fishing from the bridge connecting the mill to the bank.
