Regenye

• A report from 1714 lists Regenye as a filial congregation of the church in Görcsöny.
• According to the same report, there was no church in Regenye at the time, although there had been one there previously.
• Historically, Baksa, Regenye and Kisdér were independent parishes in the area of today’s Görcsöny parish, each with its own church and priest.

The 1714 report records two different facts: it lists Regenye as a filial congregation of the church in Görcsöny, while also noting that there was no church in the village at that time. There had been a church there previously. The church affiliation recorded in the report and the earlier church building therefore relate to different periods.

Another perspective comes from the area of today’s Görcsöny parish. Baksa, Regenye and Kisdér were independent parishes, each with its own church and priest. This places Regenye within a broader history of the church without grouping the three villages into a single parish.

In Pécs, the Early Christian Necropolis of Sopianae includes decorated tombs dating from the 4th century. They consist of underground burial chambers with above-ground memorial chapels and feature richly decorated Christian wall paintings. The Zsolnay Cultural Quarter in Pécs offers a different cultural focus: its exhibitions include “Golden Age of Zsolnay,” “Pink Exhibition” and an exhibition on the history of the family and factory.

The cultural quarter also offers children outdoor playgrounds, an interactive lab, a planetarium, the Bóbita Puppet Theatre, a ceramic painting workshop and classes at the Hercules Workshop. The freely accessible outdoor area can also be entered and enjoyed free of charge during opening hours. Check current opening hours before visiting.

The Ős-Dráva Visitor Centre near Szaporca features an interactive exhibition, a demonstration farming area with hands-on activities, and three themed educational trails. These cover traditional farming, the Ős-Dráva Programme and the wildlife along the Drava. The farming area features native Hungarian domestic animals, including Hungarian Grey cattle, Mangalica pigs, Hucul horses, and heritage sheep and poultry breeds.

At the Wilderness Educational Trail by the Old Drava, the focus is on other kinds of nature observation: facilities include a birdwatching and bird-ringing station, a viewpoint, a photography hide, a covered activity area and several rest stops. The themed educational trails at the visitor centre therefore differ from the observation and rest facilities along the Wilderness Educational Trail.
