Lócs: Village Festival and Cycling Trip

• The Lócsi falunap traditionally takes place on the third Saturday in August; check the date of the relevant edition if you are planning a specific trip.
• In 2024, an environmental education program for around 270 children was held on the madártanösvény in Lócs. It was intended for school groups.
• The municipality recommends that visitors seeking relaxation at the thermal baths in the surrounding area visit Lócs on an excursion—especially by bicycle.

The traditional date of the Lócsi falunap gives you a specific point of reference in August: it is held on the month’s third Saturday. If you plan to visit on a particular date, check the date of the relevant edition.

The madártanösvény is also known for a specific, but past, activity: in 2024, an environmental education program for around 270 children took place there. Participants included primary school children from Bük and older students from Csepreg. This example concerns a program for school groups; it is not a description of a current activity open to the general public.

The municipality recommends an excursion to Lócs for visitors seeking relaxation at the thermal baths in the surrounding area, with particular emphasis on cycling. This is a helpful pointer for travelers who would like to add an excursion to their stay. The recommendation does not specify a particular route or cycling time.

In the wider Eisenburg destination, landscapes meet themed routes. The Írottkő Nature Park lies in the northwestern part of Vas County and includes the entire 4,303-hectare Kőszeg Landscape Protection Area. In Vas County, the Termál Kerékpáros Túraút leads to five thermal bath complexes and combines cycling with visits to architectural and natural sites, as well as other thermal baths. The Vulkán-Tour, by contrast, leads to Kis-Somlyó, Ság-hegy and Belső-hegy. The routes therefore have different focuses: thermal baths and architectural and natural sites on the one hand, and three named hills on the other.

Thermal baths are another regional highlight: the wider Eisenburg destination is home to two internationally renowned thermal baths in Bük and Sárvár, 25 kilometers apart. Bükfürdő lies at the transition between Alpokalja and Kisalföld, two kilometers from the small town of Bük. It is an independent medical and tourist center and one of Hungary’s spa towns. Sárvári Gyógy- és Wellnessfürdő offers a wide range of medical, health-promoting and relaxation services.

Eisenburg offers further highlights for culture enthusiasts. The Church of St. Michael in Csempeszkopács was built around 1250 in the Romanesque style; the Romanesque church of Ják Benedictine Abbey was consecrated in 1256. The Vasi Skanzen presents rural ways of life and the folk architecture of Vas County from the past two centuries. Since opening in 1973, it has rescued and rebuilt 43 structures from 27 settlements. For regional products, the Natúrbolt in Jurisics Castle in Kőszeg offers, among other things, Kőszeg wines, Hegyalja rapeseed and chestnut honey, gingerbread, and jams and syrups from Lukácsháza.
