Discover Alsópáhok: Church, Orchard and Experiences

Construction of the Baroque Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross began in 1770 under Ignác Koller, Bishop of Veszprém. The Gyümölcsöző mintakert is a nature-friendly, species-rich area within the settlement. At Bobo Fun Park, visitors aged six and over can try several attractions with an Adrenalin+ ticket; some attractions have additional age, weight or height requirements.

The Church of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross is a specific place to visit for anyone interested in Baroque religious architecture. Its construction began in 1770 and is associated with Ignác Koller, the Bishop of Veszprém at the time. The church is dedicated to the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. A visit therefore focuses both on its Baroque design and on its clearly identifiable historical origins.

The Gyümölcsöző mintakert shows another side of the town. It is home to old regional fruit tree varieties, alongside a diverse shrub and herb layer and other mixed tree species. The garden forms a nature-friendly, species-rich area within the settlement. Its variety of plants sets it clearly apart from the church's history and offers a distinct reason to learn about regional fruit varieties and vegetation.

For those including active pursuits in their travel plans, Bobo Fun Park offers a range of attractions. With an Adrenalin+ ticket, guests aged six and over can try the ropes course, Fun Walls, Skyscraper Walk, Jump in the Air, Geometrix, Cave and Dream Walls; the Dream Walls are outdoor climbing walls. Some attractions have additional age, weight or height requirements. If you are travelling with children, it is therefore worth checking the rules for the activities you are interested in, rather than assuming the ticket alone guarantees access to every attraction.

Alsópáhoki Alkotóház is associated with craft workshops, creative weeks, community events and experiential learning for participants from the region. Check the current events calendar before visiting to make sure your plans fit the programme there.

First, consider which themes you want to shape your stay in Alsópáhok: Baroque architecture, the plant life of the Gyümölcsöző mintakert or the active attractions at Bobo Fun Park. These priorities help you match your choice of location to your travel interests. That way, choosing a hotel remains a decision of its own rather than being based solely on one attraction.

The wider destination of Zala also offers distinct landscape, wine and wellness themes. Kis-Balaton is Zala's largest body of water, is strictly protected and covers 14,745 hectares. It is also the setting for István Fekete's classic novels Tüskevár and Téli berek. The Zalai Borvidék wine region developed in Zala on the slopes and plateaus of the Zalai-dombság and on the northwestern slopes of the Keszthelyi-hegység. It comprises two wine-growing districts and 38 settlements.

Lake Hévíz is another regional attraction: it is the world's largest biologically active natural thermal lake. Therapeutic treatments at the lake are available by prior appointment only; appointments can be booked at the therapy reception of the Festetics Bath House. Keep these requirements in mind if you want to include treatments in your travel plans.
