which is the destination for so many tourists every year, guests that return here also gladly again and again.
)
Here everything can be found, the small vacation home or a modest
private room as well as luxury mansions and first-class to hotels. All
only conceivable variations of catering are offered here as well as all
possible kinds of sport, not only that kinds of water sport, which let
the proximity of the already early in the year warm bathwater expect.
Thetherapeutic baths in the south of
Transdanubia have world fame and are frequently visited for the
prevention, relief and healing. Physicians are inspired by the mineral
composition of the outstanding warm and hot sources.

)
In many villages are good possibilities of recovering from the daily
stress, the rural idyll, the for Western Europeans almost unknown
quietness and not at least the extensive and intact nature, which you
can inhale with each breath with fresh, pure air.)
)
and
the Counts of Széchenyi (foundation of the Academy of Sciences)
come from here, the poets Csokonai and Berzsenyi have in the Somogy
also their roots, exactly as the impressionist József Rippl
Rónai, and the Earls of Festetics left not only the wonderful
castle in Keszthely with a great library to us, They stood at the
cradle of the first agrarian university of Europe as well. Many peoples
migrated through the region and established themselves here, mixed
themselves and enriched each other culturally. Today there is still a
multiplicity of different nationalities, which live here with as many
peculiarities as thing in common. The numerous fortresses of the region
- the component vár in many place names refers to them - were
after they were occupied one and a half centuries by the Turks, were
blown up by the Habsburgs. Many ruins are preserved and inSomogyvár
the former military monastery received the status of a national
memorial. Instead of fortresses there are innumerable castles of small
and large aristocratic families, which were established in the
following period and which enriched the architectural history of the
region

Capital
of the Somogy is Kaposvár. The main shopping street of
Kaposvár is framed up by beautifully restored; monumental
buildings of eclectically style, and here and there loosened up by
buildings in art nouveau.
The
wealth of the city at the turn to the 20th century is underlined
impressively by well preserved architecture. Since years the shopping
street is a pedestrian precinct, loosened up by the terraces of the
most diverse catering enterprises and constantly adorned by a sea of
flowers. All thinkable institutions of a large city are available in
the capital - although Kaposvár hasn't many more than 70,000
inhabitants.
)
)
The
cultural program is rich and doesn't only take place in the great Csiky
Gergely theatre. Worth seeing are also the churches of different
denominations in the centre of the city. In Kaposvár the winter
is driven out by a colourful mask carnival. The variegated activity is
rather related to the Swiss variant - if at all - as with the carnival
in the German Rhineland. It is less known that this busy city is also a
health resort; here a thermal bath is settled. At the northern edge of
the capital the extensive Deseda artificial lake is lain, an
incomparable eldorado for canoeists, sailors, surfers, anglers and
other types of excursions.)
)
A
special object of interest at the village lain in a lovely landscape is
the open-air museum. The site presents agrarian and rural architecture
in an extremely descriptive way, so young and old feel directly placed
into former times here. Here one finds timber frame houses, furnished
farmsteads and wine-press-houses. All buildings from the different
regions of the Somogy were brought here and reconstructed between 1972
and 1978. The reformed church in the style of the rural Renaissance
with the wonderfully painted coffered ceiling including the pertinent
parsonage building is particularly worth seeing. For all interested
ones also the traditional building method is impressively described
here. So some buyer of an old Somogy farmhouse got here already
valuable suggestions to the style-fair restoration.
)
Kaposvár
is lain on of the river Kapos, at which the hill landscape of the
Internal Somogy and those of the Zselic meet one another. The small
region Zselic extends at the south border of the Somogy to theBaranya.
From the former enormous turkey oak and pedunculate oak forests, which
once covered huge parts of the Somogy, are just here extensive nature
areas preserved. Fields, meadows and grassland changed the landscape
out of the valleys in many flatter parts of the province. In the Zselic
the naturally sustained areas were already combined more than a quarter
of a century ago into a nature reservation on both sides of the border.
Nature is due to the large differences in height on a small surface
very diverse and despite the relatively small altitude is the country
climatically only classifiable as mountain area.
)
In
the west amiable hills follow, which descend southwards to the river
Drava. In the far valleys green forest strips dominated by alder trees,
can be found between the fields.
)
From
special ecological value is lake Baláta, at which an unusually
various of birds live. In the village Szenta starts a narrow-gauge
railway, with which also tourists can reach in open railroad cars -
passing the wide forests - the ranger's house Kaszó. Just here
on the forest pastures of this region domestic animals are kept
extensively again, which benefits the historical landscape conservation
just as the re-establishment of old Hungarian domestic animal races,
which were preserved temporarily only in special breed stations like in
zoos. Naturally also here wells of thermal water are found, the modern
cure andtherapeutic baths of Csokonyavisonta and Nagyatád already often helped and are surely worth to be visited.
)
Along
the river Drava extend large alluvial forests. The Somogy part of the
river is one of the few still intact natural river landscapes of
Europe. The river meanders boundless through the border region to
Croatia. Still today the Drava looks out in all naturalness
independently and constantly for a new bed, bends are flushed, old arms
are sanding and in the new loops the river finds itself a new way.
Since the river was used once for defining the boundaries to the to
Hungary belonging kingdom of Croatia, can be clearly read off the
unrestrained power of nature, because the nowadays course of the river
is extremely differing from the still same border to the modern
Republic of Croatia.
)
Flora and fauna along the river Drava are just as unique and various as
the moods of the river. Apart from the many fishes in the river and the
usual kinds of game living everywhere in Hungary - such as red deer -
can be found a great variety of butterflies, even Little Ringed Plover
and moreover sea-eagles can be found here. The border town Barcs
accommodates beside a modern, friendly centre a castle of the Counts of
Széchenyi and also the Drava museum is worth seeing with among
other things an ethnographic collection, which represents in a very
descriptive way the different peoples of the Somogy.
)
The
west of the Somogy is beside the narrow strip at the edge of the
Balaton the only region, which is not dominated by the typical hill
landscape. This flat, sandy, in addition, extremely damp landscape is
the Boronka.
)
The core of this area is one the most varied, and also most unaffected
protected areas of the Somogy. Beside the for Hungary so typical white
storks one finds here still some populations of the extremely rare
black storks. Nagybajom may decorate itself suitable with the title
"European stork municipality".
)
From Mesztegnyő again a narrow-gauge railway leads through the unique
landscape into the forests. The abbey of Saint Francis in Segesd is of
special culture-historical interest. In the year 1241 the Hungarian
king Béla IV fled from the Mongols westward and spent some time
at this place, before he continued travelling to Dalmatia. After the
Mongol Empire broke down after a short period one of the most important
fortifications of Hungary was established here. Today the fortress
mountain is particularly covered of the new baroque building of the
monastic church.
)
The
Outer Somogy is the country of the smooth hills. It extends in the
North of the Kapos valley to up to Lake Balaton. The landscape is
varied; nature and agriculture counterbalance each other in this
fruitful area of the Somogy. The villages are extreme small and are
only tourist, where hot water comes to the surface.
)
Only
by a hill chain separated from Lake Balaton we find the therapeutic
bath Csisztapuszta, a place where many patients troubled by rheumatic
complaints look out for relief. Culture-historically interested recover
expenses in Somogyvár. Here are the ruins of the in 1091 founded
abbey of Saint Benedict, donated by Saint László, king of
Hungary. The ruler was buried here as well. Still today the remnants
tell us of the strength of the former fortifications of the monastery.
)
Since 1983 Somogyvár is the third national memorial site of
Hungary. Who is under the impression of Somogyvár, should also
make from here another short excursion the neighbouring
Somogyvámos, to visit there the church ruin from the 13th
century. Törökkoppány is well known for its filigree
decorated Easter eggs. As everywhere in the Somogy not only a part of
the folklore art remained alive, but also developed to perfection.
)
In Andocs there is a in sumptuous baroque constructed pilgrimage
church. Its origin lays back in the 14th century. The well-known place
Igal, it's therapeutic bath is now completely modernised, is lain
on the heights between Lake Balaton and Kaposvár, on one side
embedded into dense forests, on the other side the slopes descends
smoothly through meadows and fields. The originally kept villages in
the environment of the health resort, are opening slowly and carefully
for village tourism. The lovely landscape, the many possibilities such
as a walking, riding, fishing, mountain biking or in the meantime also
guided off road tours are matching the requirements of the modern
traveller.
