The bronze statue commemorates the fact that the first Hungarian sighting of the potato beetle, an insect that destroys the leaves of the potato plant, was in Hédervár in 1947. The plaque by the only statue in the country depicting a bug emphasizes that the artwork does not honor the pest, but rather the beginning of the organized protection of plants and crops which dates back to around the time when the potato beetle was discovered.

Close to Nature

If you would like to take some time away from the rat race of everyday life and just BE, then this tour is for you. Rousseau's idea of “back to nature” is something that appeals to modern man who wishes to get away from the overwhelming hustle and bustle of everyday life to the quiet unequivocal order of nature. In Japan, Shinrin-yoku or forest bathing very popular, an activity where participants go for long 2-2,5 hour walks in the woods, as if essnetially “bathing” in nature. Why don’t you dive in, too? Enjoy some nature therapy on two wheels in the Csallóköz and Szigetköz.
