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.
…
All the buildings have been (and are being) built using natural materials such as mud, timber, straw, reeds, hay etc.
We recommend that you take the wind, the sun and the fresh air, which are our constant companions, into consideration when deciding what to wear – even to the extent of bringing a change of clothes.

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.

As one enters the village, there is a wine cellar and press-house on the right-hand side to give a warm welcome to visitors.
Szob Narrow Gauge Railway Train
The Börzsöny Narrow Gauge Train (originally called the Szob Farm Train) runs in the Börzsöny region between Szob and Márianosztra. It was originally intended as a farm train with its 760 mm track gauge and one-track line when the railway tracks were built in 1912. In 1953, Hungarian Railways (MÁV) assumed control of the railways; however, freight traffic stopped completely in 1992, and the tracks fell into disuse, until they were renovated in 2006 to encourage tourism in the area. The official opening of the railway line took place on 1st May 2008; however, regular transit only began a year later, on 18th July 2009.
