Borota: Wine, Culture and Nature

• The Roman Catholic Szent-Lukács Church is one of Borota’s main attractions.
• Koch Borászat offers wine tastings featuring wines from its Villány and Hajós-Baja selection.
• A cellar visit includes a tour of the winery, the sparkling wine cellar, and the cooperage museum.
• Borota’s natural attractions include the protected Csókás-erdő and a natural grassland covered in feather grass on the outskirts of town.

The Roman Catholic Szent-Lukács Church is one of the town’s main attractions. If you include cultural sites in your travel plans, this gives you a clearly identified religious focal point in Borota. The church adds a distinct note alongside the town’s wine and nature themes.

At Koch Borászat, wine tastings focus on wines from its Villány and Hajós-Baja selection. A cellar visit has a different focus: it includes a tour of the winery, the sparkling wine cellar, and the cooperage museum. This lets you choose according to your interests: whether you want to discover the wines and the two wine regions, or also tour the specified areas of the winery. If you are planning a wine tasting or cellar visit, confirm the arrangements directly with the winery in advance.

The two natural attractions differ in landscape: the protected Csókás-erdő is a woodland, while the natural grassland on the outskirts of town is covered in feather grass. Borota therefore offers a woodland and an open grassland as distinct natural attractions. If you are interested in local nature, you can decide which type of landscape better suits your interests based on these two features.

In the wider destination of Bács-Kiskun, the Tiszaalpár, Földvár educational trail presents the history of the Bronze Age fortification of Tiszaalpári Földvár and the way of life of people in the Bronze Age. Tiszaalpári Földvár is a specially protected archaeological site; this designation was made under Decree 3/2003. (I. 25.) NKÖM. Also in Tiszaalpár, a reconstruction of an Árpád-era village, built to mark the millennium, represents the settlement layout discovered during local excavations.

Another cultural theme in the wider destination of Bács-Kiskun is Halas lace. At the Kiskunhalasi Csipkeház and Csipkemúzeum, visitors can learn about its history, which began in 1902, admire lacework dating back centuries, and watch the lace-making process. Archaeology and textile craftsmanship thus offer different ways to explore history and culture.

The natural attractions also offer different experiences. The Boróka educational trail in Bugac is 1,100 meters long and features information panels and interactive stations, such as a forest xylophone and a play telescope. Lake Szelidi is a natural oxbow lake that developed from a branch of the Danube after the Ice Age. The lake’s blue algae educational trail is accessible on foot and by bicycle year-round. Its twelve information stations cover the lake’s development, the properties of its water, the organisms that live there, and the wildlife in the surrounding area. Check local conditions before visiting.
