The Nyíri Arboretum is near Nyírpazony, on the boundary between Sóstóhegy and Nyírpazony-Kabalás. A 2016 report described visits on every day of the year by prior arrangement. If you would like to include the arboretum, check before planning whether visits are currently possible and what conditions apply.

The Vályi-kúria, also known as the Vályi–Nánásy-kúria, was built in 1843 in the late Classicist style. It is described as currently unused and in a severely dilapidated condition. If you plan to include the building in your itinerary, check its current condition in advance.

The Istenszülő Oltalma templom also provides a dated reference point for local history: the church was built between 1930 and 1935, and the parsonage stands opposite it. The construction period and the relative location offer two concrete points of reference for understanding the local buildings; the construction dates given refer to the church.

Cultural Sites in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg

Cultural attractions across the wider destination of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg can be found in several distinct places. In Vaja, the Vay-Ádám Museum Collection of the Hungarian National Museum is housed in the Renaissance Vay Castle. The Báthori Castle in Nyírbátor has a permanent exhibition and a historical tableau featuring members of the Báthori family in a period setting. The focus differs: in Vaja, a museum collection is associated with a Renaissance castle, while Nyírbátor highlights a permanent exhibition and depictions of the Báthori family.

Andrássy Castle in Tiszadob adds another dimension to the region’s architectural history. It was built between 1880 and 1885 in the French Gothic style by former Prime Minister Andrássy Gyula, to designs by Alpár Ignác. The northern Hungarian section of the Medieval Churches Route connects 37 churches in the medieval church landscape of Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg. Unlike individual castles or collections, this regional route brings together a number of medieval churches.

Landscapes of the Region

The protected areas in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg also vary in size and landscape. Cégénydányád Park Nature Reserve currently covers 14.28 hectares, the strictly protected Bátorliget Ancient Bog about 53 hectares, and the Tiszadob Nature Reserve 1,000 hectares. The Bátorliget Ancient Bog particularly well preserves different stages in the vegetation and landscape history of the Alföld plain. Near Csaroda are the distinctive peat bogs of Nyíres-tó and Báb tava, whose formation dates back to the Ice Age. The area near Tiszadob includes oxbow lakes, floodplain forests and grassland; 80 to 90 pairs of herons nest in Tölgyes Forest. Thus, the region’s protected areas vary in size and relate to different aspects of bogs, vegetation history and habitats.
