At the Ruszin Tájház, a kabolás kemence with an attached masina has been preserved in its original form. This installation is considered the only example of its kind in Hungary. That makes the house a specific place to visit for anyone interested in traditional material culture: a single, precisely named furnishing is the focus here. The museum has been in operation since 1980; this date describes its history as a museum.

The Greek Catholic church also offers a clearly defined art-historical subject. In the nave, the vault paintings depict the Epiphany and the Resurrection; in the sanctuary, the Coronation of Mary is shown. Those interested in religious imagery can consider how these motifs are arranged within the church. Together with the Tájház, they offer two distinct ways to explore local history: preserved furnishings on the one hand, and paintings of religious scenes on the other.

The hike to Pusztavár can begin at the bus stop in front of Sólyomvár-lak in Komlóska. Check conditions locally before setting out. The ruins of Solymos vár, also known by its medieval name, are on Pusztavár Hill.

Another point of reference is Rákóczi Spring: it is the eighth stop on the nature trail. The spring water is considered clear and drinkable; check the water quality locally before drinking it. The spring stop and the starting point for the hike to Pusztavár are two useful details for planning your trip.
