Discover Rácalmás

• The Jankovich-kúria was built in the 1750s.
• Rácalmási Nagy-sziget and its surrounding island area have been a nature reserve and part of Duna-Ipoly National Park since 1996.
• Four described routes are 2.5, 4.6, 14 and 15 kilometres long, each with a different thematic focus.

A floodplain nature trail winds through the landscape of Rácalmási Nagy-sziget. Along the forest paths, 17 large, colourful information boards tell you about the area’s wildlife, plant life and history. Nature and island history are presented side by side, so you do not have to focus on just one theme. The 14-kilometre “Nagy-sziget” route passes the ecotourism nature trail and also takes in the island’s unspoilt southern side. If you want to include the different island attractions in your plans, you can consider this route as an option alongside the floodplain nature trail.

For a complementary perspective on the wider destination of Székesfehérvár: the reed beds along Lake Velence are home to thousands of waterbirds.

The shortest of the described routes is “Kastélyok, Kúriák” at 2.5 kilometres. In Rácalmás, it passes former castles and manor houses. The 4.6-kilometre “Ófalu” route focuses on sights from the town’s past. Both routes therefore have a historical focus, but differ in length and in the sites they cover.

If you are interested in religious history, the 15-kilometre “Szakrális Emlékhelyek” route leads to local memorial sites. Two significant detours let you shorten the route if you wish. At 14 kilometres, the “Nagy-sziget” route is slightly shorter and focuses on the island. You can choose based on whether you prefer the longer route to memorial sites or the slightly shorter island-focused route.

The Jankovich-kúria was built in the 1750s and also served as the venue for the 2026 Rácalmási Tökfesztivál. This edition took place from 18 to 20 September and was the 22nd edition. It is now in the past. The programme included cultural and gastronomic offerings, including music and art performances, folk art and crafts, exhibitions, and tastings of Hungarian and international food and drink. For planning a future trip, check the dates of a future edition rather than treating the 2026 dates as current event dates.

When looking for a hotel in Rácalmás, you can use your interests in the area as a starting point: the island trail and island route offer nature and landscapes, while the “Kastélyok, Kúriák” and “Ófalu” routes focus on historic sights. The religious memorial sites offer another clearly defined focus. This lets you choose your destination based on the experiences you want to include in your trip.
