Discover Tápiószentmárton

• The protected Göbölyjárás marsh meadow and the western part of Nagy-nádas lie within the area of Tápiószentmárton and are part of the Tápió-Hajta Vidéke Landscape Protection Area.
• Alsó-Tápió and Felső-Tápió merge in the town to form a single stream branch; the three branches of the Tápió stream run in a Y shape there.
• The Kincsem Museum features, among other things, an exhibition on the history of weapons, archaeological finds, and exhibits about Kincsem and equestrian sports.
• Busts of people who made significant contributions to the community and Hungary stand in the main square.

Both the protected areas and the course of the Tápió stream are of interest when exploring the landscape. The Göbölyjárás marsh meadow and the western part of Nagy-nádas belong to the Tápió-Hajta Vidéke Landscape Protection Area. Both lie within the area of Tápiószentmárton. This brings specific, named landscape areas into focus, rather than just a general impression of the countryside around the town.

The confluence of the waterways also gives Tápiószentmárton a distinctive geographical feature: the three branches of the Tápió stream run in a Y shape, and Alsó-Tápió and Felső-Tápió merge there to form a single stream branch. The protected areas and the stream branches offer different starting points for planning your trip: one draws attention to the marsh meadow and wetland, the other to the course and meeting of the waterways.

The exhibits offer several ways to explore history and equestrian sports. In the first room, you can see an exhibition on the history of weapons, sculptures and archaeological finds. The objects on display include the Scythian golden stag found in the area of Tápiószentmárton and a historic mangle. Finds and different historical subjects are presented side by side.

One room of the museum presents the racing career of Kincsem. Other exhibits cover the life and work of Kocsi János and various equestrian sports; an ornate carriage is also on display. If you are interested in the history of horses, you can distinguish between these subjects: the presentation about Kincsem covers the career of a racehorse, while the other museum exhibits feature Kocsi János, equestrian sports and a carriage.

The sculpture park in the main square features busts of people who made significant contributions to the community and Hungary. This offers a different focus from the collections at the Kincsem Museum: here, the focus is on distinguished figures in a public space, while the museum presents objects and subjects relating to history and equestrian sports. This distinction can help you sort through the town’s cultural attractions according to your interests.

The wider destination of Pest also offers a broader tourist perspective: the part of the highlighted Danube Bend tourism region within Pest County encompasses the entire Danube Bend, the Visegrád Mountains and the Börzsöny Mountains. This wider geographical context offers a different perspective from the specific landscape and cultural features of Tápiószentmárton.
