It opened its doors to visitors in 2014, much to the delight of fans of Dinnyés Castle Park, ruined castles, preservation of tradition and Hungarian history.

The aim of the impressive open-air exhibition is to save value and educate. Its specialty is that the in the park, you can see the scaled-down originals of medieval Hungarian castles that now only exist in ruins, which were made based on reconstruction ideas.

The uniqueness of the park is that the castles of historical Hungary have never been displayed as models made from their original materials: the scaled-down castles, just like their originals, were made of stone, wood, brick, reeds and mud.

7. Bird sanctuary

The rich, almost unique nesting bird fauna of the connected, large reeds of the southwestern part of Lake Velence was already famous in Otto Herman's time. Many domestic and foreign specialists visited the Lake of Venice with the aim of studying the life and habits of the great egret, the spoonbill and other bird species. The area has been a protected reserve since 1958 on the recommendations of the Ornithological Institute.

8. Moving stones

Pákozd moving stones Nature Conservation Area. It is managed by the Danube-Ipoly National Park. It was declared protected in 1951. Extent: 44 ha. On Sár-hegy, north of Pákozd, and in the area to the SE of it, granite forms rock groups of different sizes and shapes. The granite rocks are covered by cracks, which divide the rock into large rectangular columns. On these surfaces, the rock crumbles and weathers. Due to the weathering of the surface, the edges of the granite blocks have worn off. The residue was carried away by the wind and rainwater, so the blocks separated from each other. These formations are the so-called moving stones.

Bory started building the castle in 1923 and worked on it until the end of his life. The building was not only the home of the Bory family, but also a huge studio for the works of the architect and his wife, the painter Ilona Komócsin (1885–1974), but the works of other famous painters and sculptors can also be found here.

10. Venice lake reed maze and wildlife

The fauna of Lake Venice is extremely complex, with regard to the fish and the unique birdlife.

Among the legends of the area, the mysterious floating reed islands have always played a prominent role. Accompanied by a professional guide (or with GPS), we can take exploratory canoe tours, the purpose of which is to get to know the aquatic world of the lake, to discover ancient fishing traps and secret paths. The undisturbed nature of the area was indicated by the increasing number of waterfowl. In addition to a great egret and a red heron, we also saw the little cormorant that settled a few years ago. Despite the muddy shallow water, there are still floating reed islands, "torn", which can be swept away by wind and water currents. We also saw pike in the transparent water next to the roots of the reeds.

11. Log-castle of Gárdony

The Gárdonyi log castle is the Egri castle, the Egri stars. A scaled-down replica of the novel's location was built in Agárdpusztán next to Géza Gárdonyi's birthplace. The Rönkvár can contribute to maintaining the memory of heroic standing, similar to Géza Gárdonyi's novel, The Stars of Eger. If they visit our log castle, we hope they will get closer to the people of that time; the events of the novel will be more experiential after the adventures in Rönkvár.

12. Géza Gárdonyi memorial house

The Géza Gárdonyi Memorial House is located in Agárd, Fejér county, and is a museum set up in Géza Gárdonyi's birthplace. In addition to the Géza Gárdonyi Memorial Museum in Eger, it is an important Gárdonyi memorial site in the country. Géza Gárdonyi - known as Géza Ziegler - was born on August 3, 1863 and lived in the Nádasdy estate in Agárdpuszta until she was eight months old, on April 24, 1864. The Nádasdyak was originally intended as a teaching house, which is why it was built of brick instead of adobe, but at the time of the writer's birth, the "aristocracy" of the manor's servants, the craftsmen - masons, machinists, blacksmiths - lived in the building. After the writer's death, a red marble plaque was placed on the building, and the memorial house was opened in 1988.
