It is located in Nitrianska pahorkatina ( Nitra hill country ), a part of the Danube hill country . Larger cities in the area are Nitra (about 20 km northeast) and Šaľa (about 10 km southwest). In addition to the main town, the municipality also includes Gorazdov , which is south of the main town .
