Gyomaendrőd

The Hármas-Körös floodplain, covering more than 2,000 hectares, is a freely accessible nature reserve. Willows line sections of the shores of the oxbow lakes near Gyomaendrőd; the waters there invite visitors to swim, fish and enjoy water sports. Cultural points of interest include the Bárka Látogatóközpont, the Kner Nyomdaipari Múzeum and the Endrődi Tájház. The Adventure Park of Fishery and History also presents local history. A distinctive culinary connection is the international cheese and quark festival, XXVII. Gyomaendrődi Nemzetközi Sajt- és Túrófesztivál.

At more than 2,000 hectares, the Hármas-Körös floodplain is an extensive nature reserve that is freely accessible. It is a good point of reference for travelers who want to connect their stay with nature. The oxbow lakes offer a focus of their own: willows line sections of the shores, and the waters invite visitors to swim, fish and enjoy water sports. This gives you several ways to enjoy the water, from swimming to active water sports or fishing.

These interests can help determine your choice of accommodation: consider whether the floodplain as a natural attraction matters more to you, or whether you are particularly interested in activities around the oxbow lakes. These are distinct considerations for planning your trip; they should not be taken to indicate a specific location or distance for your accommodation.

The Bárka Látogatóközpont features an interactive exhibition about the regulation and wildlife of the Körös rivers, as well as the history of fishing. The Kner Nyomdaipari Múzeum complements this with an industrial-history collection about the printing works. Those interested in rural life in the past can visit the Endrődi Tájház, where peasant furniture and other objects illustrate the living conditions of Endrőd’s rural population in the late 19th century. The topics are clearly distinct: river landscapes and fishing alongside printing history and everyday life.

The history of Gyoma and Endrőd is also presented at the Adventure Park of Fishery and History, through fishing equipment and written and visual materials. Another historic site is Szent Antal kenyerének sütőháza, a heritage building constructed in 1903. These places and institutions offer different ways to explore local history, without covering the same subject.

At the Endrődi Tájház, visitors can learn how yeast-dough pastries are made in a wood-fired oven during a baking event. They can also try shaping pretzels, crescent rolls and lángos themselves. This hands-on activity focuses on traditional pastries and differs from the exhibitions about fishing, printing and rural life.

The Volkswagen Spray Park is a water playground established in Gyomaendrőd in 2018. Another local feature is the XXVII. Gyomaendrődi Nemzetközi Sajt- és Túrófesztivál, an international cheese and quark festival. These two facts add a playground and a culinary event to the picture of the town.
