Bogács

Highlights include the Tájház in a 140-year-old farmhouse, the Szent Márton-templom with Romanesque and Gothic features, and the Millennium lookout tower on a hill above the town. The Horgásztó, covering around 20 hectares, offers opportunities for fishing and relaxation. At the Cserépi úti pincesor, visitors can taste and buy wine.

At the Tájház, you can see objects from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as Palóc folk costumes. The historic farmhouse itself is also part of the glimpse into everyday culture. Another site with a connection to the past is the Hagyományőrző Ház: it features a kitchen and a room from the early 20th century, both furnished in period style. These two rooms were added in December 2019.

The Szent Márton-templom also reveals different phases of construction: it has 13th-century Romanesque details and was remodelled in the Gothic style in the 14th century. The Színészliget adds another cultural point of interest as a memorial to important figures in Hungarian theatre. It was established in spring 2009.

The Millennium lookout tower stands on a hill above Bogács, offering views of the town and the Bükkalja. Fishing and relaxation are the main attractions at Horgásztó. Shelters from the rain and benches with mountain views can be found along the shore. Night fishing is also possible.
