Go outdoors!

A number of tourist attractions await the tourists arriving in Tiszakécske in 2022! Our tranquil little town is preparing with fantastic experiences to dazzle all those whose hearts are close to nature and living water.

Let's take a look at everything we need to visit in Tiszakécske this year: approaching the resort area, we can't miss the location of our first stop, as our newest lookout tower stretches more than 14 meters, from which we can easily see the biggest bend of the Tisza in Hungary. From here we are just a few steps away and we are already bumping into rails where we can meet again the long-lost, but beautifully renovated little train, which can evoke long-forgotten, fond memories in many of us.

On the banks of the Holt-Tisza, a truly adventurous pile path will be built, with an herb garden, an insect hotel, a barefoot path and a birdwatcher for all members of the family.

Kecskemét and its surroundings

Zwack Palinka Manufactory of Kecskemét

What an apricot palinka from Kecskemét represents to Hungarians, is comparable to what whisky represents to the Scots and cognac to the French... The first stop of the Manufactory visit is the old distillery that was built in the beginning of the 20th century. Today it is an artefact of industrial history. After that, the visit continues in the new pálinka distillery, where we can follow the process all the way to the bottling, and the last stop is the museum's small shop, with a wide selection of drinks and gifts.

Planetarium
