Nemesgulacs: Hiking, Wine and Parish Church

• Gulács is a 393-meter-high basalt hill; a green hiking trail leads from the village center to its summit.
• Long-distance yellow and blue hiking trails pass through Nemesgulács and lead to Sér-kút, a spring on the mountainside.
• The outlying area belongs to Balaton Uplands National Park.
• B-üzem is a wine bar and wine shop where you can buy and taste Gilvesy wines.

Gulács is a prominent landmark in the local landscape. If you are interested in hiking to the summit, the start of the green trail is in the center of Nemesgulács. The trail conditions are also important to know: the summit can only be reached by a narrow, spiral footpath suitable for one person at a time. Keep this specific limitation in mind when deciding whether to take the hike.

Long-distance yellow and blue hiking trails also pass through the village. They lead to Sér-kút, a spring on the mountainside. Nemesgulács therefore offers both a trail with the summit of Gulács as its destination and hiking trails leading to a named spring. The outlying area of the village belongs to Balaton Uplands National Park. The hill, spring, and national park setting offer different points of interest for travelers who enjoy hiking and nature.

The Roman Catholic parish church has Neoclassical features on the outside and Late Baroque features inside. Its tower was added in 1853. Marble plaques commemorating those who fell in the First and Second World Wars are mounted on the church walls. In 1989, the first Mindszenty memorial in the country was inaugurated in the church garden. The architectural features, tower, memorial plaques, and monument offer different aspects of cultural history to explore.

The Eőry manor house is also in the center. It houses a school and is associated with the writer Dezső Keresztury, who spent his childhood and youth there. For culture enthusiasts, the church’s historical features are complemented by this biographical connection to the village’s history.

B-üzem is a wine bar and wine shop in Nemesgulács. Visitors can buy and taste Gilvesy wines there. Wine tastings are offered both at B-üzem and in the cellar at Gilvesy Birtok. The offer is intended for individuals, couples, and groups. If wine is part of your trip, you will find specific places to taste it here and can choose between visiting a wine bar or wine shop and a tasting in a cellar.
