Gomba: Nature, Fishing Lakes and Local History

• The Gombai Tájház showcases local architectural and furnishing traditions from the period between the two World Wars.
• Eight information boards along the Gombai helytörténeti túraútvonal cover Gomba’s natural and landscape heritage.
• The nature trail runs through the valley behind the mayor’s office.
• Gombai-tó and Farkasdi-tó are on the edge of town and are fishing destinations.
• The Perczel-kúria is one of the three historic buildings beside Gomba’s main square.

The two described routes have different focuses. The eight boards along the Gombai helytörténeti túraútvonal cover Gomba’s natural and landscape heritage. The 1.2-kilometre nature trail runs through the valley behind the mayor’s office. It provides information about the animal and plant life of small ponds and wooded areas, as well as native and non-native trees. The focus is therefore on Gomba’s natural and landscape heritage, along with specific features of habitats around small bodies of water and wooded areas.

There are also named fishing destinations on the edge of town. Carp are regularly stocked in the Farkasdi-horgásztó. Almost all fish species that can be caught in Hungary are found there; the population of grass carp is particularly notable. Stocking and fish populations may change over time. If you’re planning to fish, check the latest information about the lake.

The Gombai Tájház illustrates local architectural and furnishing traditions from the period between the two World Wars. The Perczel-kúria is one of the three historic buildings beside Gomba’s main square. Its location by the square is a specific point of reference if you’re interested in the town’s historic character.

According to the recorded building history of the Bárczay-Szemere-Máriássy-kastély, the ground floor was probably built in the Baroque style by the Fáy family in the early 17th century. The date and the qualification that it refers specifically to the ground floor go together. By comparison, the Tájház presents traditions from a considerably later period. Gomba’s historic themes therefore span from the probable construction date of the ground floor to local traditions from the period between the World Wars.
