Püspökvár Lookout Tower

Hungary, 9090 Pannonhalma Kilátó

The castle was built at the time of the foundation of the Hungarian state and is the home of the Győr diocese to this day. The lookout tower on top of the building gives visitors a uniquely beautiful panorama of the city.

Row of Cellars

Hungary, 9082 Nyúl Vaskapu út

One of Europe's largest deep steep-sided chines called the Szurdik can be found in the village of Nyúl. The valley is 8-10 meters wide and is enclosed by walls 15-20 meters high, a narrow path leads through it. The loess wall next to it, especially on Vaskapu Road, is lined with cellars characteristically cut into the rock, some of them are 6-10 meter long, 2 meter wide structures constructed 100-200 hundred years ago. These cellar entrances made of stone and lined with bricks are very quaint and charming structures. At Szél and Sons Inn and Cellar you will have the opportunity to taste some quality wines (just remember to pace yourself, you are riding a bike after all.)

Church of Saint Andrew

Hungary, 9177 Ásványráró Rákóczi u.

The municipality already had its own church in the 14th century which was destroyed by a flood in the 17th century. On the medieval foundation of the building, which is still visible today, a Baroque style church was built in the 18th century. The church was expanded in 1820, 1865 and finally, in 1904 when a side aisle was added to it.

Church of the Assumption of Our Lady

Hungary, 9223 Bezenye Templom u. 14

The first known church in the municipality was built by Charles III, father to Maria Theresa. The church stood for 80 years until Archduke Albert had the old church demolished to build the place of worship that stands to this day. The foundation stone was set on April 25, 1811, and to honor the holiday they wished to perform a cannon salute with a brass kuruc (anti-Habsburg rebel) cannon, however, when firing the shot, the cannon exploded. The unexpected event was commemorated as the cannon was built into the sacristy wall and a marble plaque on the church's wall marks the odd happening. The place of worship was completed in July of 1812 and consecrated by Bishop of Győr Jószef Vilt.

Napóleon Lookout Tower

Hungary, 9082 Nyúl Kilátó
