In our homeland, on the
Northern part of Békés county – on
the so called Körös-Sárrét – we offer many fascinating programmes for
those who wish to relax and refresh
themselves.
The clean water of the Körös rivers, their backwaters of breathtaking
beauty and several fish ponds (for
instance the one in Szeghalom) offer ideal opportunities for lovers of
fishing. There are many open beaches
waiting for swimmers along the popular water tour route
on the Körös rivers. The dam of the Berettyó and Körös
rivers is suitable for cycling tours.
In this region rich in medicinal and thermal waters, in
Dévaványa and Füzesgyarmat, medicinal open-air baths
are operated offering medicinal
water therapy. The spa-hotel of
Thermal Hotel Gara Gyógyszálló and the Thermal camping are
located in Füzesgyarmat.
Those who seek riding opportunities can
set off on riding tours in Füzesgyarmat,
Vésztő, Dévaványa and Körösladány and
trail rides are also possible. Those interested in carriage manufacturing
can learn the tricks of the trade in Galambos Hintókészítő Műhely
(Galambos Carriage Manufacturing Unit) in Füzesgyarmat. There are
many huntsman’s associations that offer hunting opportunities in the
field rich in both small and big
game.
The Körös–Maros National Park
was established for the protection of the untouched landscape
of the plains, the picturesque
river valleys, and the unique and
indigenous avifauna and flora.
More nature conser-
vation areas belong to the national park, for instance Mágor-puszta (Mágor
plain) and the cotyledonous lawns of Vésztő. In the bustard reservation
close to Dévaványa besides the bustard, Europe’s heaviest-bodied bird,
there can be seen many other ancient Hungarian species (like the grey cattle, the Hungarian Racka sheep, the buffalo) in their natural environment.
The Sárrét Museum in Szeghalom, the Imre Bereczki Local Collection in
Dévaványa, the ethnographical house in Füzesgyarmat, the Memorial Place
and Statue Park in Vésztő-Mágor and the
House of Local Historical Collections
in Körösladány present the history and
ethnography of the region through local
historical exhibitions.
Our localities are looking forward to
welcome tourists with various and
colourful programmes and events
(like Sárrét picnic in
Vésztő-Mágor, Witch Festival in Szeghalom,
and Equestrian Days in Füzesgyarmat).
Restaurants offering excellent local specialities and accommodations provide for the refreshment of the tired
travellers.
Those who visit us can enjoy the untouched nature,
lots of sunshine, medicinal waters and distinguished
hospitality.

The traditionalist capital of Körös-Sárrét preserves its material and spiritual worth gained through
its history. It is proud of its former Reformed priest
Zoltán Tildy who later became the president of the
republic.
The most important places to see include the
Reformed church, the Kossuth-statue in its vicinity;
the Sárrét Museum in the building of the Simai kindergarten, the D’Orsay castle, the Kárász castle and the Catholic church with the belfry close

A one-day-trip to the open beach along the Sebes-Körös near Várhely can be a popular

Situated in the neighbourhood of Dévaványa, the so called “second Hortobágy” is a huge ancient
lawn full of herbs, a nature conservation area of Körös–Maros National Park, and the habitat of
several protected species of animals and plants. The most important natural asset of the area is the
bustard for the protection of which the Bustard Reservation was established here. The Reservation
has become famous all over Europe. Central Europe’s biggest flock of bustards lives in this area.
Visitors can learn about bustards in their natural environment and through the exhibition they can
become familiar with their life and protection.
Accommodation can be required for up to 48 people in the training and accommodation building. The two auditoriums with 50
seating capacity and the two training rooms suitable for 25 people
give further opportunities for
housing professional education, presentations and trainings.
The charming open-air bath, the accommodations and services
nearby make the town attractive for tourists. The area of the
open-air bath has been nicely converted into a park and two
waveless pools and a pool for children are waiting for those
visitors who are seeking refreshment. Next to the bath there
is the only three-starred spa-hotel of the Körös-Sárrét region, the Thermal Hotel Gara Gyógyszálló***, as well as
the Gara Mozgás- és Egészségcentrum (Gara Motion

One of the most frequented places of interest is the
town hall built at the beginning of last century, with its
Saint Barbara statue and the neo-baroque fountain on
the square in front of it. The Unitarian church, which
is uncommon in the Great Plain, the ethnographical
house with one room in memoriam of János Hegyesi,
the Erzsébet Szitás Gallery as well as Galambos
Hintókészítő Műhely (Galambos Carriage Manufacturing Unit) are also worth mentioning.
This region is rich in various feral herbs.
The stretching bed and flood plain of the
Holt-Sebes-Körös river show visitors the
flora and fauna of the ancient water world.
One of the architectural monuments of
the settlement, the late baroque-style Reformed Listed Monument Church is
worth visiting with its slim tower and immense interior space.
The memory of the poet István Sinka, once a shepherd on the fields of the village, who wrote his nice ballads on the fate of the villagers, is preserved in Vésztő
by the museum and the cultural centre.

Pension, the Reformed
Youth Hostel and the

There are two special, 9–10-metre-tall, large mounds standing side by side on the
nature conservation area surrounded by the capricious serpentine of Sebes-Körös’
former river bed. A segment cut in one of the mounds shows the traces and available finds of a six thousand-year-old settlement. The vestiges of the Csolt clan’s (a local
family of great power in the 10th and 13th
centuries) monastery from the era of Árpád have been successfully discovered. The
monastery with three aisles, monastic cells
and a quadrangle was built in the 10th–12th
century by high-level stone works. The permanent exhibition features the history of the
mound from the new stone age until the Turkish conquest. The Mágori mound is
under archaeological and nature reserve protection.
The newest spectacle of the exhibition is the house from the new stone
age, the marsh-dweller farm and
some boats made of mud. A herd of
Racka sheep, a smaller herd of Hungarian grey cattle, a Hungarian Mangalica
(an indigenous pig breed) with its piglets and other indigenous small livestock
are living on the territory.

Worth mentioning
as places of interest in
Körösladány are buildings of folk baroque,
classical and eclectic
styles which cast a special spell. The most important of these buildings is the Wenckheim
castle, now functioning
as a school, the chapel and crypt of the family where Baron Béla Weckheim is buried, who was Hungary’s minister and prime minister after the
Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. Besides
the Reformed church built
in 1776 and the Catholic church consecrated
in 1822 there are some
monuments and statues
worthy of notice. Among
these there is the statue
of Lajos Tüköry, the most
famous person of the settlement; his memory is preserved by one of
the permanent exhibitions of the Helytörténeti Gyűjtemények Háza
(House of Local Historical Collections). There are some restaurants and
accommodations which ensure the visitors’ pleasant relaxation.
We hope that you have become interested in Körösladány and we will have the
pleasure to welcome you as our guest.

The avifauna of Hortobágy-Berettyó, the mirage-haunted landscape of the
plains, the possibilities of hunting and fishing represent attractive opportunities
for those who like rural hospitality. Peaceful nature offers an opportunity to learn
about the valuable flora and fauna. The crown of this opportunity can be the trip
to the Réhely Visitors’ Centre of the Körös-Maros National Park.

Kertészsziget
One of the smallest settlements in Békés county with barely 500 inhabitants.
Silence, well-ordered houses, clean air and the hospitality of the local people are the tourist attractions
of the village. The vicinity of the Bustard Reservation in Dévaványa and the pedestrian and cycling
tours connected to it as well as of the bath in Füzesgyarmat help entice the guests here.

The river Sebes-Körös flows alongside the village, which offers – besides fishing – an opportunity for swimming in summertime. The village is renowned for the castle of the former

The majority of the settlement’s vicinity is nature conservation area. The flood plain of the Hortobágy-Berettyó rivers can be found here and it is adjacent to the Réhely Visitors’ Centre of the KörösMaros National Park. In the territory of the village there once stretched the greatest plain of the country;
on its present territory the construction of the village began only in 1920 near the former railway station.
The building of the Catholic church situated in the centre of the village was recently finished. It is
interesting that the altar-piece was painted by a Hungarian living in Canada, Lajos Kay.
Proper accommodation can be found in the local hunting lodge for the trips in nature.

Körös-Sárrét this year?
NATUR-ally YES!
Ten strong arguments in favour of our region:
• We are the least polluted small region in Hungary.
• Nowhere but here can be seen bustards, the biggest birt species in
Europe.
• The history of six thousand years looks backwards in VésztőMágor.
• The whole family can enjoy our thermal spas.
• Anglers and hunters “cannot escape from success” in our region.
• Our horse-riding and gastronomic events have got countrywide fame.
• The living world of the Dead Sebes-Körös and the saliferous
waste land is unique in the world.
• You can get away here from every-day rush.
• The local speciality is not hamburger but “betyáros” (“scamp’s
food”).
And one more argument:
Körös-Sárrét keeps well and
welcomes back all of its guests!
Welcome In Our Region!
Our homeland, the north part of Békés County, Körös-Sárrét
offers numberless attractive programmes for tourists seeking relaxation and refreshment.
The clean water of the Rivers
Körös, their dead channels with
unique beauties and the numerous angling lakes (e.g. in Bucsa,
Füzesgyarmat, Szeghalom and
Vésztő) give ideal opportunities for the lovers of angling. A
number of free beaches are waiting for the bathers along the
popular water-tour route in the
Körös. The dams of the Berettyó
and Körös are optimal for taking
bicycle rides.
In the region overflowing with medical and thermal waters
a spa and therapy centre is operating in Dévaványa and Füzesgyarmat. In Füzesgyarmat the
Thermal Hotel Gara Hydro-Hotel and the Thermal Camping
can be found.
Those who love riding horse can take a horse tour or a joyride in Füzesgyarmat, Vésztő, Dévaványa or Körösladány. The
knack of making coach can be studied in the Galambos Coach-Making Workshop in Füzesgyarmat.
A number of Hunting Company
offer hunting occasions in the
area rich in small and big games.
The Körös-Maros National
Park was established for protecting the undisturbed waste-land
area, the picturesque river-valleys,
the unique native bird and plant
world, to which belong more nature protection areas (e.g. the saliferous lawns in Mágor Puszta and
Vésztő). In the Visitors’ Centre next to Dévaványa one can observe more native Hungarian animal species in their natural living
place, e.g. the biggest bird of Europe, the bustard, or the grey cattle, the long-wooled sheep and the
wisent.
The history, ethnography of
the region can be studied in the exhibitions dedicated to local history
in the Sárrét Museum in Szeghalom, the Bereczki Imre Col-
Our communities welcome the
visitors with various colourful
programmes and events (e.g. the
Sárrét Picnic in Vésztő-Mágor, the
Witches’ Festival in Szeghalom, the
Horse Riding Days in Füzesgyarmat, the Drum Festival or the Village Days in Dévaványa).
The tired wanderer can get refreshment in the restaurants and
lodgings offering better and better
local specialities.
Those visiting us will find undisturbed nature, much sunlight, medical
water and generous hospitality.

The town of Füzesgyarmat is situated on
the Great Sárrét, besides the main road no. 47, in
the West of Szeghalom. Located in the Northern
part of Békés county the town is accessible by train
and it is on the border of Hajdú-Bihar and JászNagykun-Szolnok counties. There are 20 smaller
settlements belonging to its region.
The majority of Füzesgyarmat’s population
is Reformed but there are smaller Unitarian and
Catholic congregations as well. The churches of
these three congregations are of listed monument
nature.
Situated in the park opposite the town hall,
the statue of Saint Barbara (the patron saint of miners and fire-fighters) and the neo-baroque fountain
are inspiring sights. Those who like the rural life
of the past can visit the Ethnographic house in
Simonyi Street. The house was built around 1880
and there is an exhibition featuring local history.
Visitors can also see the memorial room of János
Hegyesi, the peasant poet of the town. A memorial plaque shows the birthplace of Dezső Csánki, a
famous historian and archivist in Bethlen Street.
You can spend your holiday with pleasant recreation in our town. The Kastélypark Bath is situated
in the former castle park in an area of 12 ha. Its
medicinal water, the “Sárrét Gyöngye” is suitable
for the treatment of locomotion organic, neurotic
and gynaecological diseases. It waits for its guests
desiring refreshment, relaxation and healing with
two pools having smooth water-surface, a pool for
children and more indoor and outdoor swimmingpools with medicinal water for winter and summer
usage.
Besides the accommodations owned by the
local government and situated inside the area of the
medicinal bath there are several pensions waiting
for the guests fond of domestic hospitality in the
town. Our guests who prefer the exclusive atmosphere can enjoy the top-class services of the hotel
adjoining the bath. The four-star Thermalcamping
built in 2004 welcomes those who arrive with trailer
and tents. There is direct access to the Kastélypark
Bath from the camping. The town’s sports complex
and sports hall offer an excellent opportunity for organizing training and sports camps.
The Equestrian Days of Füzesgyarmat are organized
with the participation of carriage driving and horse races
and the stormy show of the horse-herders in August every
year. The freshest thing to see in the town are the world-famous carriages manufactured in the unit of Sándor Galambos.
The members of the local hunters’ and fishers’ associations provide for high quality activities for those guests who
enjoy hunting and fishing. The beauties of the untouched
nature and the undisturbed flora and fauna can be discovered by the tourists on the plains around the town and in
the shrubbery forests on the riverbank.
Heal and relax with
the help of “Sárrét
Gyöngye”!
