Discover Téglás: Find hotels for your trip

When planning a stay in Téglás, three distinct cultural highlights can help you decide what to explore: the castle and garden as an event venue, the Gulyás Festival with its cooking competition, and the listed Reformed Church. Consider whether you are most interested in events, the Gulyás tradition, or protected cultural heritage.

Castle and garden as an event venue

The Degenfeld-Schomburg Castle and its garden in Téglás serve as a cultural and community hub for representative events, conferences, exhibitions, weddings, and family-friendly and youth programmes. The uses range from conferences and exhibitions to celebrations and programmes for families and young people. If you are considering Téglás for an occasion like this, the castle’s role as an event venue is a specific local point of reference.

Gulyás Festival and listed church

The Téglás Gulyás Festival began in 2009. In 2016, it was considered a traditional event and held a prominent place among the city’s annual events. The festival includes a cooking competition that focuses on different ways of preparing gulyás. The town’s culinary character is reflected not only in the dish itself, but also in the comparison of different preparations. If you would like to plan your trip around a festival date, check the date in advance.

The Reformed Church of Téglás is a listed building. Together with the castle and garden, it provides a distinct cultural point of interest, but with a different emphasis: the castle is associated with events, while the church is a protected historic building. If you choose your accommodation based on the purpose of your trip, you can use these different themes to help guide your choice of location.

Hajdú-Bihar: landscape and herdsmen’s culture

In the wider destination of Hajdú-Bihar, the Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park – the Puszta World Heritage Site area offers a distinct focus on natural and cultural landscapes. The area covers nearly 75,000 hectares in the Great Hungarian Plain in eastern Hungary. As a cultural landscape, it preserves visible evidence of more than 2,000 years of traditional pastoralism.

For walks in Hortobágyi-halastó, you can choose from three route lengths: 3.6, 5.4, or 10 kilometres. None of the three routes has any difficult sections. The pond system is also a Ramsar site, an Important Bird Area, part of the World Heritage Site, and a Natura 2000 site. During the crane migration, around 1,500 visitors watch the cranes at feeding sites during the day and at roosting sites at sunset. Visitor numbers may vary by season.

Herdsmen’s culture is another regional theme in Hajdú-Bihar. The herdsmen’s museum presents the life of herdsmen as well as handmade clothing, tools, and decorated personal belongings. It is housed in a former coach house that was part of the Hortobágyi Csárda complex. The landscape and its long pastoral tradition are thus complemented by specific insights into the lives and belongings of herdsmen.
