Local attractions

Kemence Narrow Gauge Railway Train

The village of Kemence lies roughly 90 km from Budapest, on the Western side of the Börzsöny Mountain, in the lower region of the Ipoly Valley, close to the Slovakian border. This settlement of 1174 inhabitants, which used to be the seat of the historical county of Hont in the 18th century, and currently belongs to Pest County, is the number one tourist center of the region.

Kacár Homestead

The Kacár Homestead can be found at Szokolya, at the foot of the Börzsöny Range. It is located on the edge of the village, on a raised plateau which offers a wonderful view over the surrounding district. The whole homestead – we could even call it an estate – is the result of our manual labors over many years.

Királyrét Narrow Gauge Railway Train

The settlement that lent its name to the Királyrét Forest Railway is actually part of the settlement of Szokolya located at the Southern foot of Magas-Börzsöny, in the inner region of Börzsöny Mountain. The final terminal of this narrow gauge railway train is easily accessible in the village of Kismaros, located on the left bank of the Danube, 50 km from Budapest.

Nagybörzsöny

Nagybörzsöny, or Deutschpilsen as it is known in German, lies in the serene and quiet Ipoly Valley, to the west of the Börzsöny Mountain, and is a favorite tourist spot among many who visit the Danube Bend. The name of this settlement can be traced back to 13th century charters, and in 1417, King Sigismund gave the settlement mining rights and brought Saxon settlers from Germany to mine for precious metals. By 1493, the settlement was considered a mining town, but by the end of the 1700s, it was converted into a country town that was well-known for its agriculture for centuries onward – it was famous for its wine, for example, until the grape plantations were devastated by grape phylloxera. 

Baking in the Outdoor Oven

For larger groups, we offer our out-door ovens for baking flat bread and all kinds of oven-baked dishes.
