The river landscape, woodland and connection to the protected area are three distinct aspects of the local natural setting.
What makes Markos Sándor Memorial Park distinctive?

The park also serves as a venue for smaller events, commemorations and gatherings. Thus, memorials and community uses share the space with a rest stop for cyclists. These varied functions give the park a special place among the local points of interest.
Which sights complement the memorial park?
