Discover Borota: Church, Wine and Nature

When looking for a hotel in Borota, it is worth considering the themes that define the town as a destination: a Roman Catholic landmark, wine tastings and nature attractions. This can help you decide whether you would like to discover Borota mainly through its culture, the offerings of Koch Borászat or its landscape.

Attractions in Borota

The Roman Catholic Szent-Lukács Church is one of Borota’s most important attractions. For travelers interested in culture, it is a clear point of reference when choosing places to visit in Borota.

Wine Tastings and Cellar Visit

Koch Borászat in Borota offers wine tastings featuring wines from its selection of the Villány and Hajós-Baja wine regions. These two regions of origin give the tasting a specific theme. Those interested not only in the wines but also in the winery can consider the cellar visit as a separate program highlight: it includes a tour of the winery, the sparkling wine cellar and the cooperage museum. Arrange the wine tasting and cellar visit directly with the winery.

Nature in Borota

Borota’s natural attractions include the protected Csókás-erdő and a natural grassland covered with feather grass on the edge of town. Together, the forest and open feather-grass grassland offer two distinct ways to experience nature in Borota.

More themes in the wider Bács-Kiskun destination

The wider destination of Bács-Kiskun offers further cultural and landscape themes. The Tiszaalpár, Földvár educational trail presents the history of the Bronze Age fortification of Tiszaalpári Földvár and the way of life of people in the Bronze Age. Tiszaalpári Földvár is a specially protected archaeological site in Bács-Kiskun; its designation was made under Decree 3/2003. (I. 25.) NKÖM. In Tiszaalpár, a reconstruction of an Árpád-era village, built to mark the millennium, illustrates the settlement layout discovered during local excavations.

At the Kiskunhalasi Csipkeház and Csipkemúzeum, visitors can learn about the history of Halas lace, which began in 1902. They can admire lacework dating back centuries and see the lace embroidery process. This is a distinct cultural highlight in Bács-Kiskun, alongside the historical themes in Tiszaalpár.

The Boróka educational trail in Bugac features information boards and interactive stations, including a forest xylophone and a play telescope. At 1,100 meters long, it is easy to gauge its scale. Lake Szelidi developed after the Ice Age from a side branch of the Danube into a natural oxbow lake. The educational trail about blue-green algae at the lake is accessible on foot and by bicycle year-round; local conditions may change, so check them before your visit. Its twelve information stations cover the lake’s development, the properties of its water, the organisms living there and the surrounding wildlife.

The Természet Háza in Kecskemét is the visitor center of Kiskunság National Park. It provides information about the park’s educational trails, visiting conditions for protected areas, ecotourism programs and forest schools.
