What outdoor and waterside activities are available?

In Nagyatád, the route winds through a natural setting along a hillside and a stream bank.

What culture and history can you discover?
Szent Kereszt Felmagasztalása Plébániatemplom and the Franciscan monastery form a protected monument ensemble in the Neo-Baroque style. The complex was built around the middle of the eighteenth century and is located at Széchenyi tér. Szent Rókus-kápolna, at the entrance to the town, tells a different story: Ferenc Czindery had the chapel built in the Baroque style in 1743.
The open-air collection in Szoborpark contains nearly 60 sculptures. The park at Széchenyi tér, by contrast, is also a tree-lined green space with paths and benches. If you’re interested in public art, the two places offer different perspectives, as they serve different purposes.
Since 2025, Városi Múzeum has been housed in T25. Its collection displays relics of the town’s history and memorabilia from Nagyatád’s heyday around the turn of the twentieth century. T25 also hosts art exhibitions and a memorial room dedicated to Bertók László.
