The Sportközpont in Encs is a multipurpose hall for sports and events. The 44 × 22-metre hall has marked courts for futsal, volleyball, handball and basketball. The centre also includes two natural-grass pitches, an artificial-turf pitch and a running track.

The Greek Catholic church can be visited by prior arrangement. The modern, twin-towered Szent Anna Római katolikus templom was built in 1999. The Anyukám Mondta restaurant serves, among other things, grilled and smoked meat, homemade bread, focaccia and desserts.

The Sportközpont combines indoor sports with outdoor facilities. The hall has marked courts for four sports. The playing area measures 44 × 22 metres; the same dimensions are given for the artificial-turf pitch. Beside it are two natural-grass pitches: one measuring 105 × 66 metres and another measuring 90 × 45 metres. The running track loops around the larger natural-grass pitch.

The facilities can therefore be distinguished by their respective layouts: marked indoor courts sit alongside differently sized grass pitches and a running track. If you are planning an event or a specific sporting activity, check the current access and booking conditions in advance.

In a green setting, a Roman Catholic, a Greek Catholic, a Reformed and a Lutheran church stand close together in Encs. Two of the buildings can be identified more specifically through details about their architecture and origins. The Greek Catholic church was built in 1996 to plans by architect Bodonyi Csaba. Its ensemble combines Byzantine style with modern architectural elements; visits are possible by prior arrangement.

The Szent Anna Római katolikus templom is a modern, single-nave church with two towers. It was built in 1999 to plans by Horváth Zoltán. These separate descriptions provide two distinct architectural reference points, so there is no need to confuse one church with the other.

The town's older church history includes a medieval stone church that was taken over by the Reformed community in the 16th century. After the church fell into ruin, Catholics later used its materials to build a new church. This historical sequence does not identify any present-day church as the building whose materials were reused.

Anyukám Mondta serves smoked and grilled meat, homemade bread, focaccia, classic dishes and desserts. The sweets mentioned include gluten-, lactose- and sugar-free options. If you have a particular dish or one of these options in mind, check the current menu before your visit, as the selection may change.

Nature and transport are also among the region's attractions: the Hucul herd can be seen year-round in the pastures of Gergés-lápa, around 1.5 kilometres north of Jósvafő. Animal-keeping conditions may change, so it is advisable to check in advance.
