Hortobágy, our first national park is easy to get to by car via Balmazújváros. Hortobágy is famous for its bridge called "kilenclyukú" ("bridge with nine "holes" ") and in the well-known wayside inn you might have a "refreshing" drink. The shepherd"s museum displays natural and ethnographic past of the "puszta" ("plain"). After having visited the museum you might admire different horse and other shows or you can use the "puszta" bus to go sightseeing.

Tokaj, which is known for its wine all over the world, is situated 30 kms far from our town. You can get there by car on a romantic road if you cross the river Tisza on the ferry between Tiszalök and Tiszatardos.

Not far from the Big Church you can admire Munkácsy"s paintings in the Museum Déri. The famous Csonka Templom ("incomplete church") stands in Piac street as well.
