Brhlovce
It was formed in 1952 by a merger of the villages Dolné Brhlovce (Hungarian: Tegzesborfő) and Horné Brhlovce (Hungarian: Kálnaborfő).
It lies some 10 km east of Levice. It is known mainly for its excavated dwellings, cut into the volcanic sub-layer, that have been proposed for the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The excavated dwellings are said to have been constructed by the local people in the 16th and 17th centuries in order to "hide the village" and avoid the Turkish raids. They did not want to build normal ground-level houses because these would be visible from afar.
Brhlovce has a population of 329 people and an area of 13.385 km².
