What can you do on the Holt-Tisza?

The Holt-Tisza offers several ways to spend time by the water in Fegyvernek: you can go fishing, take a walk or relax on the bank. These activities offer different experiences, from spending time outdoors to taking a quiet break by the water. Which one suits your stay depends on what you enjoy doing.

The Alsóréti Holt-Tisza offers a distinct historical perspective on the waterscape. It dates back to 1856, when a natural riverbed formed as a result of the 74th Tisza cut-off. The administrative boundaries of Fegyvernek, Nagykörű and Törökszentmiklós meet at this body of water. Both the Holt-Tisza’s present-day uses and its landscape history are therefore among the topics you can consider when planning your trip.

Which buildings define the town?

The statue of Nepomuki Szent János is located in Fegyvernek-Szapárfalu on Main Road 4, between kilometre markers 128 and 129. It was built in the Baroque style in 1775. The statue group is protected by a brick structure with a triangular ground plan and triangular pillars; its tent-shaped roof is covered with shingles.

You can also explore the architecture of the Fegyverneki Református Templom. The church is on Fegyvernek’s main street and is oriented along an east–west axis. A gate and entrance hall stand in front of the eastern main façade. A tower with a pyramidal spire stands at the hall’s northern corner; an extension adjoining the west side encloses the liturgical space.

The Pusztatorony adds another perspective on the town’s architectural history. This Gothic listed building was constructed around 1480. Together with the Baroque statue and the Reformed church, it shows that the town’s historic buildings represent different periods and architectural forms.

How can you choose the focus of your stay?

If you are interested in water and riverside activities, you can consider including the Holt-Tisza in your plans. If you would rather focus on architectural history, the statue, church tower and Pusztatorony offer different examples. The Németh tanya on the edge of Fegyvernek is recommended for visitors interested in horse riding. This does not guarantee current opening hours or booking options; check specific offers before making plans.

This lets you compare specific accommodation offers based on your own travel plans, without assuming that riverside activities, buildings or an interest in horse riding correspond to particular accommodation features.
