In our homeland, on the
Northern part of Békés county – on the so called Körös-Sárrét – we offer many fascinating programmes for those who wish to relax and refresh themselves. The clean water of the Körös rivers, their backwaters of breathtaking beauty and several fish ponds (for instance the one in Szeghalom) offer ideal opportunities for lovers of fishing. There are many open beaches waiting for swimmers along the popular water tour route on the Körös rivers. The dam of the Berettyó and Körös rivers is suitable for cycling tours. In this region rich in medicinal and thermal waters, in Dévaványa and Füzesgyarmat, medicinal open-air baths are operated offering medicinal water therapy. The spa-hotel of Thermal Hotel Gara Gyógyszálló and the Thermal camping are located in Füzesgyarmat. Those who seek riding opportunities can set off on riding tours in Füzesgyarmat, Vésztő, Dévaványa and Körösladány and trail rides are also possible. Those interested in carriage manufacturing can learn the tricks of the trade in Galambos Hintókészítő Műhely (Galambos Carriage Manufacturing Unit) in Füzesgyarmat. There are many huntsman’s associations that offer hunting opportunities in the field rich in both small and big game. The Körös–Maros National Park was established for the protection of the untouched landscape of the plains, the picturesque river valleys, and the unique and indigenous avifauna and flora. More nature conser-
vation areas belong to the national park, for instance Mágor-puszta (Mágor plain) and the cotyledonous lawns of Vésztő. In the bustard reservation close to Dévaványa besides the bustard, Europe’s heaviest-bodied bird, there can be seen many other ancient Hungarian species (like the grey cattle, the Hungarian Racka sheep, the buffalo) in their natural environment. The Sárrét Museum in Szeghalom, the Imre Bereczki Local Collection in Dévaványa, the ethnographical house in Füzesgyarmat, the Memorial Place and Statue Park in Vésztő-Mágor and the House of Local Historical Collections in Körösladány present the history and ethnography of the region through local historical exhibitions. Our localities are looking forward to welcome tourists with various and colourful programmes and events (like Sárrét picnic in Vésztő-Mágor, Witch Festival in Szeghalom, and Equestrian Days in Füzesgyarmat). Restaurants offering excellent local specialities and accommodations provide for the refreshment of the tired travellers. Those who visit us can enjoy the untouched nature, lots of sunshine, medicinal waters and distinguished hospitality.

The traditionalist capital of Körös-Sárrét preserves its material and spiritual worth gained through its history. It is proud of its former Reformed priest Zoltán Tildy who later became the president of the republic. The most important places to see include the Reformed church, the Kossuth-statue in its vicinity; the Sárrét Museum in the building of the Simai kindergarten, the D’Orsay castle, the Kárász castle and the Catholic church with the belfry close to it. A one-day-trip to the open beach along the Sebes-Körös near Várhely can be a popular summer programme for the visitors. The sports hall of the town welcomes training camps; accommodation can be arranged in the hostel of the secondary school. The Vállalkozói Központ és Szálloda, the Hidi Pension, the camping close to Puszta csárda as well as the Várhelyi Youth Camp offer accommodation in the town. More restaurants can be found in the settlement among which the Alma Mater, the Leonardo ételbár and the Puszta csárda are the most well-known.

Situated in the neighbourhood of Dévaványa, the so called “second Hortobágy” is a huge ancient lawn full of herbs, a nature conservation area of Körös–Maros National Park, and the habitat of several protected species of animals and plants. The most important natural asset of the area is the bustard for the protection of which the Bustard Reservation was established here. The Reservation has become famous all over Europe. Central Europe’s biggest flock of bustards lives in this area. Visitors can learn about bustards in their natural environment and through the exhibition they can become familiar with their life and protection. Accommodation can be required for up to 48 people in the training and accommodation building. The two auditoriums with 50 seating capacity and the two training rooms suitable for 25 people give further opportunities for housing professional education, presentations and trainings.
The charming open-air bath, the accommodations and services nearby make the town attractive for tourists. The area of the open-air bath has been nicely converted into a park and two waveless pools and a pool for children are waiting for those visitors who are seeking refreshment. Next to the bath there is the only three-starred spa-hotel of the Körös-Sárrét region, the Thermal Hotel Gara Gyógyszálló***, as well as the Gara Mozgás- és Egészségcentrum (Gara Motion and Health Centre), and the Thermal camping****. The town’s sports complex and sports hall offer an excellent opportunity for organizing training and sports camps. One of the most frequented places of interest is the town hall built at the beginning of last century, with its Saint Barbara statue and the neo-baroque fountain on the square in front of it. The Unitarian church, which is uncommon in the Great Plain, the ethnographical house with one room in memoriam of János Hegyesi, the Erzsébet Szitás Gallery as well as Galambos Hintókészítő Műhely (Galambos Carriage Manufacturing Unit) are also worth mentioning.
This region is rich in various feral herbs. The stretching bed and flood plain of the Holt-Sebes-Körös river show visitors the flora and fauna of the ancient water world. One of the architectural monuments of the settlement, the late baroque-style Reformed Listed Monument Church is worth visiting with its slim tower and immense interior space. The memory of the poet István Sinka, once a shepherd on the fields of the village, who wrote his nice ballads on the fate of the villagers, is preserved in Vésztő by the museum and the cultural centre. Accommodation can be found in Musli-szigeti Pension, the Reformed Youth Hostel and the Vidra Farm located on the bank of Sebed-Körös river; and the two diners offer warm food.

There are two special, 9–10-metre-tall, large mounds standing side by side on the nature conservation area surrounded by the capricious serpentine of Sebes-Körös’ former river bed. A segment cut in one of the mounds shows the traces and available finds of a six thousand-year-old settlement. The vestiges of the Csolt clan’s (a local family of great power in the 10th and 13th centuries) monastery from the era of Árpád have been successfully discovered. The monastery with three aisles, monastic cells and a quadrangle was built in the 10th–12th century by high-level stone works. The permanent exhibition features the history of the mound from the new stone age until the Turkish conquest. The Mágori mound is under archaeological and nature reserve protection. The newest spectacle of the exhibition is the house from the new stone age, the marsh-dweller farm and some boats made of mud. A herd of Racka sheep, a smaller herd of Hungarian grey cattle, a Hungarian Mangalica (an indigenous pig breed) with its piglets and other indigenous small livestock are living on the territory.

Worth mentioning as places of interest in Körösladány are buildings of folk baroque, classical and eclectic styles which cast a special spell. The most important of these buildings is the Wenckheim castle, now functioning as a school, the chapel and crypt of the family where Baron Béla Weckheim is buried, who was Hungary’s minister and prime minister after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867. Besides the Reformed church built in 1776 and the Catholic church consecrated in 1822 there are some monuments and statues worthy of notice. Among these there is the statue of Lajos Tüköry, the most famous person of the settlement; his memory is preserved by one of the permanent exhibitions of the Helytörténeti Gyűjtemények Háza (House of Local Historical Collections). There are some restaurants and accommodations which ensure the visitors’ pleasant relaxation. We hope that you have become interested in Körösladány and we will have the
pleasure to welcome you as our guest.

The majority of the settlement’s vicinity is nature conservation area. The flood plain of the Hortobágy-Berettyó rivers can be found here and it is adjacent to the Réhely Visitors’ Centre of the KörösMaros National Park. In the territory of the village there once stretched the greatest plain of the country; on its present territory the construction of the village began only in 1920 near the former railway station. The building of the Catholic church situated in the centre of the village was recently finished. It is interesting that the altar-piece was painted by a Hungarian living in Canada, Lajos Kay. Proper accommodation can be found in the local hunting lodge for the trips in nature.

Körös-Sárrét this year? NATUR-ally YES! Ten strong arguments in favour of our region: • We are the least polluted small region in Hungary. • Nowhere but here can be seen bustards, the biggest birt species in Europe. • The history of six thousand years looks backwards in VésztőMágor. • The whole family can enjoy our thermal spas. • Anglers and hunters “cannot escape from success” in our region. • Our horse-riding and gastronomic events have got countrywide fame. • The living world of the Dead Sebes-Körös and the saliferous waste land is unique in the world. • You can get away here from every-day rush. • The local speciality is not hamburger but “betyáros” (“scamp’s food”).
And one more argument:
Körös-Sárrét keeps well and welcomes back all of its guests!
Welcome In Our Region! Our homeland, the north part of Békés County, Körös-Sárrét offers numberless attractive programmes for tourists seeking relaxation and refreshment. The clean water of the Rivers Körös, their dead channels with unique beauties and the numerous angling lakes (e.g. in Bucsa, Füzesgyarmat, Szeghalom and Vésztő) give ideal opportunities for the lovers of angling. A number of free beaches are waiting for the bathers along the popular water-tour route in the Körös. The dams of the Berettyó and Körös are optimal for taking bicycle rides. In the region overflowing with medical and thermal waters a spa and therapy centre is operating in Dévaványa and Füzesgyarmat. In Füzesgyarmat the Thermal Hotel Gara Hydro-Hotel and the Thermal Camping can be found. Those who love riding horse can take a horse tour or a joyride in Füzesgyarmat, Vésztő, Dévaványa or Körösladány. The knack of making coach can be studied in the Galambos Coach-Making Workshop in Füzesgyarmat. A number of Hunting Company offer hunting occasions in the area rich in small and big games.
The Körös-Maros National Park was established for protecting the undisturbed waste-land area, the picturesque river-valleys, the unique native bird and plant world, to which belong more nature protection areas (e.g. the saliferous lawns in Mágor Puszta and Vésztő). In the Visitors’ Centre next to Dévaványa one can observe more native Hungarian animal species in their natural living place, e.g. the biggest bird of Europe, the bustard, or the grey cattle, the long-wooled sheep and the wisent. The history, ethnography of the region can be studied in the exhibitions dedicated to local history in the Sárrét Museum in Szeghalom, the Bereczki Imre Col-
Our communities welcome the visitors with various colourful programmes and events (e.g. the Sárrét Picnic in Vésztő-Mágor, the Witches’ Festival in Szeghalom, the Horse Riding Days in Füzesgyarmat, the Drum Festival or the Village Days in Dévaványa). The tired wanderer can get refreshment in the restaurants and lodgings offering better and better local specialities. Those visiting us will find undisturbed nature, much sunlight, medical water and generous hospitality.

The town of Füzesgyarmat is situated on the Great Sárrét, besides the main road no. 47, in the West of Szeghalom. Located in the Northern part of Békés county the town is accessible by train and it is on the border of Hajdú-Bihar and JászNagykun-Szolnok counties. There are 20 smaller settlements belonging to its region. The majority of Füzesgyarmat’s population is Reformed but there are smaller Unitarian and Catholic congregations as well. The churches of these three congregations are of listed monument nature. Situated in the park opposite the town hall, the statue of Saint Barbara (the patron saint of miners and fire-fighters) and the neo-baroque fountain are inspiring sights. Those who like the rural life of the past can visit the Ethnographic house in Simonyi Street. The house was built around 1880 and there is an exhibition featuring local history. Visitors can also see the memorial room of János Hegyesi, the peasant poet of the town. A memorial plaque shows the birthplace of Dezső Csánki, a famous historian and archivist in Bethlen Street. You can spend your holiday with pleasant recreation in our town. The Kastélypark Bath is situated in the former castle park in an area of 12 ha. Its medicinal water, the “Sárrét Gyöngye” is suitable for the treatment of locomotion organic, neurotic and gynaecological diseases. It waits for its guests desiring refreshment, relaxation and healing with two pools having smooth water-surface, a pool for children and more indoor and outdoor swimmingpools with medicinal water for winter and summer usage. Besides the accommodations owned by the local government and situated inside the area of the medicinal bath there are several pensions waiting for the guests fond of domestic hospitality in the town. Our guests who prefer the exclusive atmosphere can enjoy the top-class services of the hotel adjoining the bath. The four-star Thermalcamping built in 2004 welcomes those who arrive with trailer and tents. There is direct access to the Kastélypark Bath from the camping. The town’s sports complex and sports hall offer an excellent opportunity for organizing training and sports camps. The Equestrian Days of Füzesgyarmat are organized with the participation of carriage driving and horse races and the stormy show of the horse-herders in August every year. The freshest thing to see in the town are the world-famous carriages manufactured in the unit of Sándor Galambos. The members of the local hunters’ and fishers’ associations provide for high quality activities for those guests who enjoy hunting and fishing. The beauties of the untouched nature and the undisturbed flora and fauna can be discovered by the tourists on the plains around the town and in the shrubbery forests on the riverbank.
Heal and relax with the help of “Sárrét Gyöngye”!
