The Erzsébet Galgóczy Memorial Room is located in the side wing of the Bezerédj Castle. The writer's study and 'farmhouse room' from her Budapest apartment can be seen here. Documents, manuscripts and received honors commemorate her life's work and main stations of her literary career. Visitors can become acquainted with the environment in which the author lived and worked.

The Kossuth Prize-winning Hungarian author and screenwriter was born in Győr-Ménfőcsanak (then called Ménfő) and died here as well. A memorial room was created to honor the author in the side-wing of the Bezerédj Castle. The 100 m2 spacious, arched hall showcases the study and so-called 'farmhouse room' from the author's Budapest apartment. In the middle we see testaments to her short but prolific career: documents, manuscripts, received certificates and accolades as well as objects that were close to the author and her published volumes.

Miklós Radnóti, the excellent modern Hungarian poet was shot in 1944 on the road to Abda. The statue of Miklós Radnóti on the outskirts of Győr along the road leading toward Abda marks the place where the poet was shot into a mass grave at the end of the Second World War. The full-figure granite statue is the work of Miklós Melocco, it depicts the poet wearing a shroud, his head bowed toward the ground.

A magyar-francia szakos középiskolai tanár a modern magyar líra kiemelkedő képviselőjeként vált híressé. A költőt 1944-ben lőtték le az Abda felé vezető úton, zsebében megtalálták a költő utolsó verseit tartalmazó Bori noteszt, többek között az “Erőltetett menet” című híres versével. Radnóti Miklós szobra Győr határában, az Abda felé vezető út mentén jelzi azt a helyet, ahol a költőt tömegsírba lőtték a második világháború végén. Az egész alakos gránit szobor Melocco Miklós műve, a lepelbe öltözött költőt lehajtott fejjel ábrázolja. Közelében áll egy másik Radnóti-emlékmű, mely több átalakuláson esett át. A nyárfaligetben látható egy vörös márvány emléktábla, egy mellszobor, mögötte egy hatalmas lángot szimbolizáló mészkő tömb, amely a költő zsenijére utal, valamint egy műkő oszlopba foglalva márványtáblán olvashatók a költővel egy időben kivégzett munkaszolgálatosok nevei is.

This tour can be completed as an afternoon program during which we will pass by the beautiful Lavender Park of Pannonhalma.

Thermal tour

The name of the next tour including the word “thermal” can be misleading as it is really a bicycle tour. We recommend it to those who would like to cycle, but also desire a little relaxation at the end of the day. The route we offer connects the medicinal and adventure spas of the Rye Island as part of a bicycle tour. The participants of the tour have the opportunity to visit each of the thermal spas, get to know the landscape of the Rye Island while cycling, and protect the Nature, as their emission is almost zero. The starting point is Komárom and the destination is Dunajská Streda. The chosen route is also favourable for those who are willing to cycle “only” to the destination, as there is an (indirect) train line between the two towns.

You can do all this and much more if you choose this tour.
