Berekfürdő: Thermal Baths, Horse Riding Routes and Aviation History

Berekfürdő appeals to travelers with a range of interests: alongside the Gyógy- és Strandfürdő, with its 12 pools, are two designated horse riding routes and the exhibition “A szovjet repülőtér titkai” on the history of Soviet air forces. Each local attraction has a different focus: varying water temperatures at the baths, routes with named destinations, and an exhibition featuring special objects.

Bathing: twelve pools and a visitor rule

The Gyógy- és Strandfürdő has 12 pools with different water temperatures. When planning your visit, both the number of pools and the differences in temperature are relevant. A clear admission rule applies to children under 14: they may enter the baths only when accompanied by a parent or another adult. Check the operator’s current visitor rules before your trip.

Two horse riding routes with different destinations

Both designated horse riding routes start on Hortobágyi út in Berekfürdő, but take different paths from there. Horse riding route 14 goes via Ágota-halom in the direction of Nádudvar. Horse riding route 15 leads to the Farkas-sziget entrance in Püspökladány. Their named destinations provide a clear point of comparison: one route goes via Ágota-halom to Nádudvar, while the other leads to the Farkas-sziget entrance. If a horse riding excursion is to be a highlight of your stay, you can match these different directions with your travel plans.

An exhibition on Soviet aviation

The exhibition “A szovjet repülőtér titkai” covers the main Soviet airfields and presents a collection described as unique of objects and documents relating to the presence of Soviet air forces in Austria and Hungary. The exhibits include a Mi-24D attack helicopter bearing Soviet insignia, described as unique in Europe. The subject brings together specific aircraft and documents with the history of Soviet air forces in two countries. If you would like to include the exhibition in your travel plans, check current visiting arrangements in advance.

Regional perspectives within the wider destination of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok

Within the wider destination of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, the Tisza-tó in the northern part of the county is a tourist hub. The lake and its surroundings are among the region’s outstanding areas for cycling tourism. The international EuroVelo II cycling route runs along the Tisza through the county. In the regional picture, different ways of getting around sit side by side: the horse riding routes that start in Berekfürdő and the cycling route along the river.

Another landscape highlight within the wider destination is the Tiszakürt Arboretum. It is of national botanical importance and has been a protected natural area of national importance since 2001. It also serves as a refuge for native flora and fauna and is home to more than 1,000 plant species and varieties. In the Öregkert area, there is a signposted network of walking paths 3.5 kilometers long. The diversity of plants and walking paths provides a different regional focus from Berekfürdő’s bathing pools and horse riding routes.
