Cibakháza: Nature by the Water and Cultural Heritage

Cibakháza combines nature by the water with birdwatching and a historic building on Szabadság tér. Visitors can stroll and watch birds in Gödör Bird-Friendly Park. The Cibakházi Holt-Tisza and the protected church add a special natural area and architectural history to these themes. When planning, you can first decide whether walks, nature watching or culture will shape your stay.

Walking and Birdwatching

Gödör Bird-Friendly Park invites you to enjoy a relaxing walk by the water. Birdwatching is also one of the activities available there. If you would like to combine the two, the park offers a specific starting point for a stay focused on nature and landscape.

The Cibakházi Holt-Tisza is an oxbow lake measuring 140 hectares and 17 kilometres in length. In addition to these geographical dimensions, its importance as a breeding ground is also relevant: the globally threatened ferruginous duck breeds here. Its size and length describe the oxbow lake, while its role as a breeding ground provides a specific link to species conservation.

A facility with washrooms is located on the bank of the Cibakházi Holt-Tisza, near Gödör. If you plan to use it for your outing, check in advance whether it is open.

Church on Szabadság tér

The protected Roman Catholic church on Szabadság tér offers a cultural counterpoint to the natural attractions. It was built between 1757 and 1760. This clearly defined construction period places the building within the architectural history of the 18th century and makes the church a distinct sightseeing theme alongside walking and birdwatching.

More perspectives in the wider destination

In the wider destination of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County, Lake Tisza in the northern part of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok serves as a tourist centre. The lake and its surroundings are among the outstanding areas for cycling tourism. The international EuroVelo II route is also part of the regional context: it runs along the Tisza through Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County.

The Tiszakürt Arboretum offers a different perspective on nature. It is of botanical importance nationwide and has been a protected natural area of national significance since 2001. More than 1,000 plant species and varieties are represented there. The Öregkert area also has a signposted network of walking paths, 3.5 kilometres long. At the same time, the arboretum serves as a refuge for native flora and fauna.

The Kiss-Pál Museum in Tiszafüred is also one of the cultural attractions in the wider destination of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok County. It is one of Hungary’s oldest rural museums and is housed in a Neoclassical manor built by the Lipcsey family in the first half of the 19th century. Two permanent exhibitions cover Tiszafüred’s approximately 7,000-year archaeological past and outstanding objects from the 17th and 18th centuries. Check the exhibition details before your visit.

The museum also includes the Nyúzó-Gáspár Pottery House. It displays material evidence of the once-popular local pottery craft and the original domestic setting. The region’s cultural offerings thus feature museum objects and craft traditions alongside the natural attractions of Lake Tisza and the arboretum.
