Have you ever wondered how the gold seekers extracted gold dust from the water of the Danube? Would you like to know who the ‘burcsellás’ (boatmen) were? We show a couple of old professions that are hardly practiced by anyone in the area now, or have already become extinct, even though they provided livelihood to many people in the age of our great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents. Learn more about the forgotten professions!

When we travel, there is one important thing we are all curious about apart from the sights: the local food and drink offerings. Many of us like to taste these because, as they say, each meal is an adventure. We highly recommend that you partake of the regional Szigetköz dishes, try local products and refreshments. Have a mid morning snack at Lipóti Bakery, eat lunch at a traditional restaurant in Felső-Szigetköz, enjoy a cold beer in the afternoon (pace yourself!) and/or have a coffee and try the vinegar fish in Győr. Enjoy your meal!

Elizabeth Gilbert’s highly successful autobiographical novel has now become a classic novel. An American woman goes into the world to figure out who she really is and what life path she should take. She visits magical places, heals her body and soul, and finds love until everything gains a new meaning for her.

You do not need to travel thousands of kilometres, as even our area offers culinary adventures to you, and here you can find silence in the noise of the world; you can immerse yourself and pray in our beautiful churches. And, of course, we show you places that can be associated with love. ;)

Eat, pray, love, in one word: live!
