Acropolis

The Acropolis of Athens is not just a collection of ruins but a cornerstone of Western architecture and urban culture: a sacred space built on a rocky ridge that served as the religious, political, and symbolic centre of the city for centuries. The majority of the remains visible today date back to the 5th century BC, during the rebuilding period after the Persian Wars, when Athens, under Pericles, became the dominant power of the Greek world. Its outstanding universal value is recognised by UNESCO: the Acropolis is a World Heritage Site and one of the most complete surviving examples of ancient Greek monumental complexes.

Apor Bastion

Towering above Băile Tușnad, on the slopes of Szurdok-tető, stands the picturesque Apor Bastion, which serves not only as a lookout point but also as a cultural landmark, playing an important role in the life of the region. Built in 1883, at the end of the 19th century, the structure was realised at the initiative of Baron Károly Apor, with the aim of providing a resting and viewing point for spa visitors – thus, the bastion never served a military purpose.

Bér Andesite Slide and Stone Sea

Located near the village of Bér in Nógrád County, the so-called "basalt slide" and stone sea are, in fact, impressive andesite formations—remnants of intense volcanic activity that shaped this region around 15–16 million years ago. Over time, lava from Miocene eruptions solidified into hard andesite rock, which later fractured and shifted, creating dramatic rockslides and chaotic boulder fields across the hillside.

Bodrog river - a Living River, Floodplain Heritage and Sustainable Water-Based Experiences

The Bodrog river is one of the most distinctive floodplain rivers of the Carpathian Basin, shaping the everyday life of communities along its banks for centuries. Settlement patterns, transport routes and traditional livelihoods have long adapted to the river’s water regime: older village centres were typically established on higher ground to avoid floods, while floodplain meadows, gallery forests and oxbow lakes formed a diverse and dynamic landscape closer to the river. The Bodrog represented not only a challenge, but also a vital resource. Its fish-rich waters, riverside orchards and meadows, and its humid microclimate contributed to local livelihoods and, in several areas, indirectly supported the unique climatic conditions of the Tokaj wine region.

Corvus-Kora Róbert

Corvus-Kora Róbert has lived and worked in Lőkösháza since his childhood. His first major success came at the age of 16 in Budapest, where one of his paintings was awarded a certificate. He was greatly influenced by Renaissance art and 17th-century Dutch artists, aspiring to paint in their style. He has created several public sculptures and monuments from marble and limestone. Always passionate about monumental, life-sized depictions, he decided to paint his first 9x4.5-metre panoramic painting for the Hungarian Millennium in 1996. A total of nine panoramic paintings have been completed. His future plan is to create another 9x4.5-metre painting and build a circular hall to house the artworks. The building will be unique in the world, as no such circular hall exists that contains ten panoramic paintings, each exploring a different theme. The artist regularly supports Lőkösháza. His works adorn the public spaces and interiors of the village, such as the St. Stephen statue, the cross in front of the church, the Trianon memorial, and the monument commemorating the 1956 Revolution and War of Independence. He has also erected statues in memory of Jenő Gávai Gaál and Tibor Frigyes Májer. The columbarium wall and the crucifix in the local cemetery are also his contributions. His paintings decorate the Community Centre and the Mayor's Office. His ninth panoramic painting can be viewed at the Petőfi Sándor Community Centre in Lőkösháza by prior arrangement. Appointments can be made with the artist for guided tours.

Exaltation of the Holy Cross Catholic Church and Crypt

Behind the former castle, surrounded by a branch of the Dead Black Körös River, lies a 3.7-hectare castle park, designed by the Wenckheim family in the 1880s. At the highest point of the park stands the neo-Romanesque-style Holy Cross Chapel and Crypt, often referred to as the 'jewel box' of the area. In 1902, Count Dénes built the neo-Romanesque patronal church and the round cemetery chapel, the crypt, based on plans by Viktor Siedek, a Viennese architect. The chapel cost 250,000 crowns. The foundation of the church was dug out in just one week in 1857 by local labourers from Doboz. The buildings were consecrated on 7 June 1902 by Bishop Lőrinc Schlauch of Várad. According to contemporary accounts, at the Gerla bridge, a hundred horsemen welcomed the bishop performing the consecration, escorting him to the church entrance. For the celebratory lunch following the consecration, 800 meal tickets were distributed among the construction workers. The interior is richly decorated, with every column and staircase in the church made of marble. The colourful windows, the three altarpieces, and the ceiling paintings, featuring mosaics covered with 24-carat gold leaf, were created by Tyrolean artists. The church and its associated family crypt can be visited by prior arrangement.

Fenékpusztai Estate

Former Synagogue

According to the census of 1723-24, there were already 7 Jewish families living in Bodrogkeresztúr, and their number increased steadily during the 18th century. The strengthening of the community and the religious life is shown by the fact that the first rabbi of the Jewish community of Pest, Israel Wahrmann, was the rabbi of Bodrogkeresztúr prior to 1765, and there are records from the same year that the Bodrogkeresztúr fair was visited by Jewish merchants from Pest county. A few decades later, in 1786, 256 Jewish inhabitants were recorded in the settlement, in 65 households.

Fortified Church of Cârța

Granary Designed by Miklós Ybl

The Granary is a historic building constructed in 1863. It is an outstanding industrial and architectural monument of the village, built based on the designs of Miklós Ybl for the former Wenckheim estate. This granary is a true forerunner of modern architectural endeavours. The building has a T-shaped floor plan, is three storeys high, and features a closed block structure with simple recessed Gothic-style windows. Between the windows are vertical pilasters running upwards, with a cornice above the second floor. The openings on the third floor crown the building like pearls, which is topped with a low gable roof. The block is connected to the adjacent drying tower by a single arched opening up to the second floor. This served as a covered passageway for transport carts. The larger rectangular section was suitable for grain storage on three levels and functioned as the granary. Perpendicular to this wing is the silo section, which is also three storeys high. It features a semicircular vault in the middle, and on the right side was the drying silo. In 1985, the roof, which had been severely damaged by a storm, was restored, but no further work was carried out. Until 1944, the granary was used by the estate and later by the Agricultural Cooperative, followed by the Békés County Grain Trading and Milling Company. In 1962, the Petőfi Agricultural Cooperative of Doboz purchased the building. The cooperative's management, recognising the rapid deterioration of the structure, planned its renovation but was unable to secure the necessary funds. Despite its significantly deteriorated condition today, the granary is still considered an agricultural heritage site. It is currently in private ownership.

Herculaneum

Herculaneum (in Italian, Ercolano) is one of the most remarkably preserved urban archaeological sites of the ancient Roman Empire. Located in the Bay of Naples, at the western foot of Mount Vesuvius, the town was buried by the volcanic eruption of AD 79, the same disaster that destroyed Pompeii. However, the two sites offer distinct experiences: Herculaneum is smaller in scale, with a more compact urban layout, and features preservation phenomena that are rare in Mediterranean archaeology.

Folk House

The masterpieces of folk architecture can still be found in Biharugra today. Two thatched houses, each over two hundred years old, stand in the middle and at the far end of the main street named after Queen Elisabeth. The former now functions as a folk house. The 100-square-metre building was constructed in several stages and is a typical peasant house. Initially, it was most likely a three-part building with a room, kitchen, and pantry-chamber layout. Later, a separate outbuilding was added as a stable, and subsequently, the space between the two buildings was enclosed. An external pantry was added in this section. The building is a traditional adobe-walled, thatched-roof dwelling with a rammed earth foundation. The living area features ceilings made of wooden beams, covered with clay from below and thatched with reeds on top. The roof structure, as seen from the street, is a small, hipped gable roof. Inside the house, a furnace and a built-in stove were also constructed. By 2010, the building was in a severely deteriorated condition when it was acquired by the local council. By this time, the damage was so extensive that renovation became unavoidable. During the restoration, the entire roof covering, damaged ceilings, and walls were repaired. Additionally, the façade windows and doors were restored, rainwater drainage was installed, the surroundings of the house were tidied up, and a woven wattle fence was created along the street front. As one of the oldest residential buildings in Biharugra, the locals preserve it as a historical monument and value, and it also enjoys local protection. Today, the local council presents the building as a folk house to visitors.

Nyergestető Memorial Site

Located on a mountain pass between Harghita and Covasna counties in the Eastern Carpathians, the Nyergestető Memorial Site (literally: "Saddle Peak") commemorates a dramatic historical event from the mid-19th century.

Owl Castle

Owl Castle in Borsec, known in Romanian as Cetatea Bufnițelor, is one of the town's most unique natural attractions. This rugged, steep rock formation towers above the spa resort and offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Borsec Basin, the surrounding mountains, and the distant Bistrița Valley. The name originates from the birds of prey, particularly owls, that nest around the rocks and are often observed in the area.

Pál Szabó Literary Memorial House

For many, Biharugra is synonymous with one of our greatest folk writers, Pál Szabó. His first piece of writing appeared in a 1927 issue of "Körösvidék", and its success inspired him to create more works. After submitting reports to "Körösvidék", his writings were published by Endre Bajcsy-Zsilinszky's "Előörs". His first novel, "Emberek" (People), was published in 1930 by the Sylvester Press, and shortly afterwards, Franklin Publishing also released it, with translations into foreign languages. At that time, Zsigmond Móricz already regarded him as one of the greatest promises of Hungarian literature. His books were published in numerous editions. He achieved true success with his novels, in which he brought the past of his people to life through his own experiences. Additionally, he also wrote successful film scripts. For his work, he was awarded the Baumgarten Prize in 1949, the Attila József Prize in 1950, and the Kossuth Prizes in 1951 and 1954. In his house in Biharugra, Pál Szabó transformed the veranda into his study. Whenever he was working on a major project, he always returned home to finish it. Home, to the street and the adobe house from where he once set out to reach the heights of literary life. After the writer's death in 1970, the family created a memorial room here, where they collected his cherished personal items and furniture. The Pál Szabó Literary Memorial House, founded by the writer's daughter, has been welcoming visitors since 1973, and later officially gained museum status. In 2007, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on the eastern side of the building, next to the entrance, listing 42 famous and significant individuals who visited this house as Pál Szabó's guests. In the spring of 2008, the Pál Szabó Literary Memorial House was renovated, and the writer's former study and library remain open to visitors every day of the week, with knowledgeable guided tours and a warm welcome awaiting all.

Philip the stork - stork nests

A few years ago, the main street of the village had many overhead cables, which posed a constant threat to birds in the area. The proximity of the Bodrog river makes Bodrogkeresztúr a popular habitat for storks. However, the death of Fülöp the stork, who had lived in the village for 12 years, in 2018, has also highlighted the problem of overhead cables.

Pompeii Archaeological Park

Pompeii is one of the world's most famous archaeological sites: a Roman city buried under ash and pumice in just a few hours during Mount Vesuvius' eruption in AD 79.

Poseidon Thermal Gardens (Giardini Poseidon Terme)

Poseidon Thermal Gardens is one of the most renowned all-day attractions in Forio, located on the long sandy beach of Citara Bay in Ischia. What makes this place unique is the combination of thermal experiences and seaside relaxation in a single, well-maintained terraced park: as you stroll between the pools, you can enjoy panoramic sea views, shaded green areas, sunbathing spots, and a variety of water experiences, ranging from pleasantly warm to distinctly hot thermal waters.

PROTESTANT CHURCH

For many years, neither the Calvinist nor the Lutheran communities in Hévíz had a dedicated place of worship. From the 1920s, services were held in private homes, the Cultural Hall of the Spa Hospital, or the small auditorium of the local cinema.

Rapsonné's Castle

One of the most mysterious medieval ruins in Székely Land is located near Praid, on a steep, forest-covered hilltop. The remnants of the fortress known as Rapsonné's Castle are nestled among andesite rocks – moss-covered walls, sunken stones, and a man-made water reservoir tell the story of the fortress's former role. Although historical records suggest the castle was built in the 13th century and likely provided refuge for locals during the Mongol invasion, today it is the legends associated with it and its enchanting natural surroundings that make this place truly unique.

Roman Catholic Church

The Roman Catholic church dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross dates back to the 13th century.

Roman Catholic Church of Csíkkozmás (Church of Saints Cosmas and Damian)

Ancient faith, enduring stone walls, and living traditions embraced by the Harghita Mountains In the heart of Székely Land, nestled among the Harghita Mountains, the Roman Catholic Church of Cozmeni (Hungarian: Csíkkozmás) is not just a religious building but also a symbol of local identity and community unity. Dedicated to Saints Cosmas and Damian, this church is one of the region's oldest and has retained its central role in the village's religious and cultural life over the centuries.

Roman-era Ruin Garden

In the Egregy district of Hévíz, one of the most important Roman-era discoveries of the Balaton region was unearthed: a nearly 1,000 m² stone villa built around AD 100. With its columned portico and bathing pools, it reflects the advanced bathing culture of the time. The villa and its surroundings were inhabited for centuries and, after several reconstructions, survived until the early 5th century. Excavations also revealed a Mithras sanctuary, economic buildings, and early coins – all suggesting that the Romans settled near the miraculous lake not only for economic but also for spiritual and medicinal purposes.

Rooster Church

The Downtown Reformed Church, commonly known as the "Rooster Church," is the largest Reformed church in Miskolc, crowned by a gilded rooster atop its nearly 70-meter tower, visible from any part of the city.

Ruins of Szanda Castle

Szanda Castle stands atop a 529-metre-high volcanic hill composed of andesitic tuff, offering one of the most scenic panoramas of the Cserhát region.

It is a place where history, nature, local identity, and sustainability converge—deserving recognition as a flagship attraction of the region.

Samson's Castle

The Árpád-era earthwork known as Samson's Castle appears on András Paulovics's 1789 map, with no earlier references in historical sources. According to a local legend, the castle's name is linked to a robber leader named Samson. During the Turkish era, this was the hideout of a robber leader named Samson, who caused significant damage to the Turks and killed many of them. He had a deep cellar underground where he stored his treasures. However, the only way to access this underground cellar was through the hollow trunk of a stunted willow tree growing on the banks of the Körös River. In 1964, Júlia Kovalovszki, an archaeologist originally from Doboz, determined the extent of the castle during her excavations. Samson's Castle consists of two parts: an inner and an outer castle. In one of her excavation trenches, Júlia Kovalovszki uncovered the remains of a gate tower, which provided passage through the rampart made of compacted earth. In 2006, an authentication archaeological excavation was carried out at the site of the gate tower under the leadership of archaeologists Dr. Mária Béres and András Liska. As a result of the excavation, previously unknown details of the gate tower documented by Júlia Kovalovszki were discovered, and data was collected about the structure of the rampart. The local population of nearby villages, particularly in the early Árpád era, may have used Samson's Castle, built in a protected nook of the Körös River, as an occasional refuge.

Flower Exhibition by Mrs Károly Kovács Made of Sugar

Mrs Károly Kovács was born in 1957 in Lőkösháza, where she has lived ever since. Following in her father’s footsteps, she also became a tailor and seamstress, working in Lőkösháza. She initially created sugar flowers and decorated cakes as a hobby for her family and friends. Through this, her work came to the attention of our town’s mayor, Györgyi Szűcsné Gergely. She encouraged her to participate in the amateur cake-making competition organised by the Mihály Munkácsy Museum in Békéscsaba in 2015, where she received a special award for her cake composition titled “My Grandchild’s Tale.” Later, she completed a sugar flower-making course, where she met Master Confectioner Dr Zoltán, a member of the Békés County Culinary Team. Dr Zoltán noticed her work and, in 2016, invited her to create floral decorations for their table at the Culinary Olympics in Erfurt. Since 2016, she has been making the village day cake for Lőkösháza every year. Her exhibition can be viewed at the Sándor Petőfi Community Centre in Lőkösháza.

Sárvár Adventure Park

Sárvár Adventure Park is located right next to the spa complex, where every member of the family can find a suitable option among the 7 zipline courses. You can also try tree climbing, where a route with artificial holds leads up the trunk and branches. Traditional hunting bows are available to try, along with bows for both children and adults. At the lakeside mini gold panning area, you can discover 10-12 types of crystals – all you need is a bit of luck.

The mission involves achieving a specific goal using various tasks, ingenious mechanisms, and objects. Each game lasts 45 minutes and must be completed as a team.

Sárvár Arboretum

The Sárvár Arboretum is one of Hungary's oldest collections, and among the arboretums of Vas County, the earliest written records can be found in Sárvár. The predecessor of the current arboretum was established in 1546 as an orchard and vegetable garden. Gardening flourished until 1671, when Ferenc III Nádasdy, the then Chief Justice, was executed for his involvement in the Wesselényi Conspiracy, and his estates were confiscated. This led to the decline of the renowned garden, but a few fruit trees and interspersed oaks preserved the memory of its beginnings. In 1803, the castle garden came into knowledgeable hands once again. Archduke Ferdinand of Este-Modena, a member of the Habsburg family, purchased the castle along with its surrounding lands. It was a challenging yet rewarding task to recreate the old garden, which had fallen into ruin, on its original foundations. Part of the area was replanted with orchards, while the rest gradually transformed into an English-style park, preserving the ancient oaks and old trees. The plane trees from the first planting in 1812 now have trunk diameters exceeding three metres. In line with the fashion of the time, yews, Japanese pagoda trees, and limes were predominantly planted. The Gyöngyös Stream, which flows through the area, and the fishpond helped maintain a favourable climate for the park's plants and ensured a constant groundwater level.

Events, cinema

The sports and event centre, as well as the cinema, offers active entertainment across nearly 5,000 square metres.

Boat Rental

Lonely Rock

Lonely Rock (in Romanian, Piatra Singuratică) is an iconic rocky tower of the Hagymás Mountains, majestically rising to an altitude of 1,608 metres above sea level at the northern edge of the Csíki Basin. Its name reflects its character: this 'solitary rock' dramatically stands apart from the rest of the mountain range, boldly reaching towards the sky.

Sirok Castle

Sirok Castle is one of Hungary's most unique medieval fortresses, not only built into the landscape but quite literally born from the rock itself.

Somoskő Castle

Perched atop a volcanic cone above the village of Somoskő, now part of Salgótarján in northern Hungary, Somoskő Castle is more than just the ruin of a medieval stronghold.

Statue of the Shepherd Playing the Flute

In the centre of the settlement, visitors are welcomed by a charming little park. At its heart stands the public statue of the 'Shepherd Playing the Flute', erected in the year 2000 by the Municipality of Doboz to honour the Millennium. This statue, made of bronze and limestone in a traditional architectural style, was the largest creation to date by sculptor Attila Mészáros. The design was inspired by the connection between Doboz and water, which has shaped the lives of its inhabitants and the history of the settlement. In the past, Doboz was almost encircled by the Black Körös River, giving it an island-like appearance. This is symbolised by the pebble-shaped base made of Süttő limestone. The shepherd playing the flute evokes the settlement's pastoral heritage.

Straw Hat Museum

The Straw Hat Museum in Crișeni is one of the most unique thematic collections in Székely Land, showcasing the values of local peasant culture, craftsmanship, and community identity through a simple yet versatile object – the straw hat. Located in a traditional village house in Crișeni, Harghita County, the museum aims to preserve, revitalise, and celebrate the history, techniques, and aesthetic world of this craft.

Széchenyi Street

Széchenyi Street, Miskolc's main artery, has always been the city’s center and most important thoroughfare.

Szejkefürdő Mineral Water Museum

Located in the valley of the Szejke stream, near Odorheiu Secuiesc, Szejkefürdő has been the centre of Szekler mineral water culture for decades. The natural springs – including the Sarolta Spring, known for its distinctively slightly sulphurous, petroleum-like smell – have been used as medicinal drinking water since the 18th century. Harghita County is home to nearly 2,500 different mineral water springs, offering diverse mineral compositions that provide both health benefits and cultural experiences.

Székely Border Guard Memorial Centre

The Székely Border Guard Memorial Centre opened in August 2021 in Frumoasa, Harghita County, and is one of Transylvania's most significant military and historical museums. Its purpose is not only to commemorate but also to educate, foster dialogue, and strengthen shared identity. The exhibition presents a lesser-known yet highly important chapter of Székely history – the centuries-old institution of the Székely border guards, which was simultaneously a military, social, and cultural system.

Székely Calvary and Ugron Chapel

Located on the northern edge of Odorheiu Secuiesc, along the quiet forest trail leading to Mál Hill, the Székely Calvary uniquely combines spiritual reflection with the collective memory of the Székely community and contemporary artistic expression. The central element of the site is the Ugron Chapel, built in 1890 at the request of Ákos Ugron, based on the testament of his ancestor, Lázár Ugron. Originally intended as a burial chapel, the building still preserves the memory of the family’s history.

Unitarian Fortified Church of Dârjiu

Dârjiu is a quiet village nestled among hills in the Székely Land, where time seems to slow down, and history feels within reach. The Unitarian fortified church standing in the centre of the village is not only a striking architectural landmark but also the only Unitarian church in the world protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The building's foundations date back to the 13th century: originally a Romanesque-style church, it was fortified during the 15th–16th centuries due to the threat of Turkish and Tatar invasions. The defensive walls, bastions, loopholes, and walkways remain well-preserved, telling stories of past defensive strategies.

Székelyvarság Lookout

Perched on the edge of Székelyvarság, the lookout tower stands on a forested hilltop, offering an unparalleled panoramic view of the Harghita and Gurghiu Mountains. This simple yet elegant wooden structure is a perfect example of how to admire the landscape with respect – free from artificial influences, using natural materials, and blending seamlessly into the environment.

Székely Gate and Memorial Post

Our connection with Torja in Transylvania began in 1990 through correspondence with Artúr Coroi, the mayor at the time. Following the 1990 municipal elections, the relationship between the towns of Torja and Gádoros was strengthened, and the first meeting took place in Torja in April 1991. From then on, meetings became regular, occurring several times a year. In 1992, our friends from Torja performed the comedy "Open Window" at the House of Culture, and the next day they ceremoniously presented a small memorial post, handcrafted as a token of their friendship. This can be found in the park in front of the Zsigmond Justh Cultural House. For our second village day on 30 September 1995, our friends from Torja gifted the residents of Gádoros with a Székely gate. The gate was crafted by József Miholcsa, a folk woodcarving artist. At the handover ceremony, András Kováts, the Mayor of Torja, said: "Whoever walks under the Székely gate should always remember that the residents of the twin town belong to Hungary with all their heart and soul."

Tamás Széchy Memorial House, Local History Collection and Creative House

Our town's prominent cultural and heritage site is the Tamás Széchy Memorial House, Local History Collection and Creative House. This house preserves the memory of Tamás Széchy, one of Hungary's most successful swimming coaches of all time and the first honorary citizen of Doboz. He spent his childhood in this house, where his mother was the post office manager. Until 2008, this building served as a post office. Later, thanks to a grant, it was renovated and slightly modified, eventually gaining its current appearance. In 2012, it was reopened to the public, housing a permanent exhibition of the swimming legend's personal belongings and providing space for the local history collection, which includes items donated by residents as well as the handiwork of members of the Dobozi Folk Art Association. Its latest addition, the Postal History Exhibition, opened in 2024. This house hosts all kinds of craft workshops, camps, and events that ensure the traditions of the past are not forgotten and are faithfully passed on to future generations. The main goal is to preserve and respect local traditions and values, passing them down "from father to son." A living house and event space with its own herbal garden. The memorial house can be visited by prior arrangement.

The Acetania Vinegar Museum

The word vinegar does not always conjure up images of premium gastronomic value. It more reminds us of the cleaning techniques of our grandmothers, or the taste of bean soup with vinegar added.

The Calvinist Church

The Louis seize style church was built in the late 18th century. At that time, the present Felső street was the main street of the village, and according to Joseph II's decrees, Protestants were only allowed to build the church 30 metres further down the street, with its back to the main street. History has served justice to the Reformed community in such a way that the lower street, closer to the river Bodrog, became the main route for the wine merchants, and eventually the lower street, going by the river, took over the role of the main street.

The former Széchenyi-Wolkenstein Castle

Oszvald Wolkeinstein, a descendant of Julianna Rákóczi, built the mansion at the foot of the Dereszla hill in the last quarter of the 19th century.

The Griffin Well

Since 2010, the artwork of Sándor Gyula Makoldi, a resident of Bodrogkeresztúr and creator of several public square sculptures, provided water to tired hikers in the heart of the village. An important motif of the Hungarian Conquest chieftain graves found in the Bodrogköz region is the griffin bird, a mythical creature known from the White Horse’s son tale, a powerful and fearsome force that can lift you to heights you cannot otherwise reach. That's why the statue is designed in a way so that people can sit on its back while it gives thirsty people the gift of life-giving water from its own body.

The National Shrine of Mátraverebély-Szentkút

Mátraverebély-Szentkút is a place where silence becomes presence, and where water not only quenches thirst, but opens the soul. A pilgrimage site that honours the past, serves the present, and embraces responsibility for the future—a model destination for sustainable, values-driven tourism.

The Rabbinic House

The rabbi died in April 1925, and on the day of his funeral 12,000 train tickets were sold at the Bodrogkeresztúr train station. On the anniversary of his death, hundreds of pilgrims came to Bodrogkeresztúr in the following years - and today pilgrims come not only on the anniversary, but at any time of the year.

The Rákóczi House

The building block with 4 living rooms, served as a residence for the Rákóczi family mainly during the grape harvests. The Baroque house was built in the 17th century but was somewhat rebuilt a century later and can still be viewed in this form. The house is the oldest non-church building in the village and still bears a Latin inscription on its walls: "Peace be within your fortress walls, and quietness in your palaces”.

The Ruins of Lőrinc Tar’s Manor House

Lőrinc Tar was one of the most renowned Hungarian knights and diplomatic envoys at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. He rose to prominence as a member of King Sigismund of Luxembourg’s royal court.

The statue of the Hungarian prince Ferenc Rákóczi II.

In 1648 Ferdinand III donated Bodrogkeresztúr to György Rákóczi. Half a century later, in 1699, Ferenc Rákóczi II and Julianna Rákóczi agreed on the allocation of the estates, as part of which Julianna Rákóczi became the owner of the properties in the village. At the same time, the Rákóczi War of Independence determined the fate of the whole Tokaj-Hegyalja region - thanks to this, a life-size bust of Rákóczi, cast in bronze by sculptor Géza Balogh based on a painting by Ádám Mányoki is now featured in the centre of the village.

The Treasure Trove of Bodrogkeresztúr

Keresztúr was inhabited already in prehistoric times. This is evidenced by the discovery of the two great artefact assemblages discovered.

The viewpoint

If you walk up to the viewpoint above the village, you can not only enjoy the spectacular view, but also get a sense of the mystical nature that the people of the area attributed to their natural environment for centuries. The local tales – told by the admiring and humble people - present a world where people do not dominate nature, but submit to its laws, and in return, nature gives them all the good things they can imagine.

Tiszai Railway Station

The history of the Tiszai Railway Station in Miskolc is closely linked with the evolution of Hungarian railways.

"Villanyrendőr" is a name that resonates with every resident of Miskolc, though it often leaves tourists puzzled.

Weidlich Palace

The Weidlich Palace, one of Miskolc's most iconic buildings, has been a jewel of the city's main street for over a century.

Dobozi Wenckheim Castle

The former Wenckheim Castle now functions as the Dobozi Primary School. In 1944, the castle, which originally had 52 rooms, reached its current form in three stages. First, the hunting lodge facing the main road was completed (currently a shop is located here). The single-storey hunting lodge was built by Rudolf Wenckheim based on the plans of Antal Czigler, the estate architect from Gyula, providing a place for relaxation and hospitality after hunts. In 1850, the upper floor of the castle and its extension parallel to the main road were completed, which now form part of the Dobozi Primary School building. The building took on its "U" shape at this time, and around the same period, in 1852, the romantic-style racing stables and coach house were built based on the plans of Miklós Ybl, followed by the triumphal-arched oat silo granary. Doboz became the centre of the estate, from where the Vésztő and Csorvás properties were managed. At the beginning of the 1900s, Dénes Wenckheim constructed the turret-like, mansard-roofed, slate-covered multi-storey section in the courtyard in a historicist style. A marble staircase leads to the upper floor. From the balcony room, there was a beautiful view of the castle park. The rooms featured stunning tiled stoves matching the wall colours. In the dining room, a 4-metre-tall snow-white tiled stove was brought from Belgium. The upper floor served as the living quarters for the countess and the children. The castle was furnished in an aristocratic and sophisticated manner. On the ground floor, the large dining room, among other things, served as the venue for hunting dinners, and many famous people visited the castle during hunts, including Governor Miklós Horthy. By the 1940s, Count Lajos Wenckheim transformed the castle into a true countryside residence. The corridors' walls were adorned with a collection of hundreds of beautiful and valuable roe deer and stag antlers. The Dobozi hunting lodge was well-known in aristocratic circles. Today, the impressive building houses 9 classrooms. In 1996, the building was expanded with a new wing, which included additional classrooms. The old and new building complex now welcomes Dobozi students with a modern computer room, development room, and specialised classrooms equipped with interactive whiteboards.

Wenckheim Castle Park

Behind the former castle, surrounded by a branch of the Dead Black Körös River, lies a 3.7-hectare castle park, designed by the Wenckheim family in the 1880s in an English style. Its characteristic trees include pedunculate oaks, plane trees, lindens, horse chestnuts, ginkgo, and Scots pine clusters. Since 1979, the park has been a protected natural area, and the leadership of Doboz considers its rehabilitation a top priority. The park features stunning trees that are centuries old. In the picturesque English-style park, you will also find the family mausoleum and chapel (1896-1902). The park was restored in 2006, aiming to recreate its former state by planting new vegetation, creating flower beds, and replacing dead trees. This well-maintained and visually striking park is a favourite spot in the town, where both young and old enjoy strolling under the centuries-old trees and spending their leisure time. We warmly invite our guests to this marvellous natural setting, whose unique climate is shaped by the Dead Black Körös River. Four bridges lead into the park, making this natural wonder in the town centre more accessible. In the western part of the park, there is a sculpture garden paying tribute to former Hungarian kings. Walking through the park and letting your imagination wander, you can picture the everyday life of the former Wenckheim estate, as the former castle, the granary designed by Miklós Ybl, and the chapel and crypt at the park's highest point are all within 'arm's reach' of each other. If you visit Doboz, don’t miss this experience!
