Those who want to combine their stay with nature experiences will find a range of options. The Pacsmag Lakes Nature Reserve lies in the valley of the Koppány River and consists mainly of wetlands, with smaller areas of woodland and grassland. A birdwatching program includes a four-hour guided tour covering 8 km around the lakes. From observation towers, you can spot species including ferruginous ducks, red-crested pochards, herons and great egrets.

An approximately 1 km-long, level walking trail runs around Lake Miklósvári. Miklósvári Park Forest also has trails for hiking and walking. The 20-hectare Vadaspark showcases the flora and fauna of the Gyulaj forests. According to the information boards, a green-marked trail offers the chance to observe large wild animals of Hungarian forests, including fallow deer, red deer, roe deer, mouflon and wild boar.

Two differently described routes are available for a longer cycling trip. The 6 km cycle path connects Tamási with Pári. The 10.4 km Tamási–Regöly cycle path runs along the Koppány River and then through the Pacsmag Lakes Nature Reserve. The details on distance and route help you choose a suitable ride for your day’s plans without treating the two routes as the same.

There is also a trail on Várhegy, designed for children and adults as well as pedestrians and cyclists. Information boards and family-friendly rest areas are located along the way. From the viewpoint on Várhegy, you can see across the surrounding area as far as the vineyards of the Tolna wine region.

A special option for cycling enthusiasts is the Tamási Velodrome. It is considered Hungary’s only currently operating velodrome; the banked circular track can be used by prior arrangement. This sets the velodrome apart from the cycle paths to Pári and Regöly: the focus here is on riding a circular track.

Another way to learn about the town’s history is to visit the Tamási Local History Collection.
