Discover Levelek – find hotels

Levelek can be considered for travel planning through two local themes: the eclectic-style castle with its historic park and the Matula bácsi tanösvény around the lake. If you are looking for a hotel in Levelek, these highlights can help you weigh up your interests for your stay. The castle and park offer a connection to cultural history and an older landscape; the route around the lake provides a different focus.

Castle and Park in Levelek

The eclectic-style castle in Levelek was built in the 1770s. It is set within an 8.6-hectare historic park, where plane trees, chestnut trees and oaks dating from that period can still be found. The construction date and the trees provide different historical points of interest associated with the castle. The renovated Leveleki Molnár-kastély serves as a tourism and events center for residents and visitors. If you are planning a visit, check the current visiting arrangements in advance.

The Matula bácsi tanösvény

The Matula bácsi tanösvény runs around the lake. It starts at the beginning of the dam and ends at the Halfarock apartmanház. The route can also be completed by bicycle. The endpoints indicate the course of the trail; the option of cycling is another practical consideration when planning the loop. Check current trail conditions before setting out.
