Csurgónagymarton: Nature, Fishing and Cultural Heritage

Csurgónagymarton can be explored through a variety of themes: Kifoglak Horgásztó and its two ponds, the Reformed Church and the route of the Mária Út. For nature planning, the Ágneslaki Arboretum is another regional point of interest. The hilly landscape of the Zalaapáti-hát, wildlife watching by the second pond and the local event each offer a distinct focus.

Fishing at Kifoglak Horgásztó

Kifoglak Horgásztó in Csurgónagymarton covers an area of 4.6 hectares and has two ponds, each measuring 0.5 hectares. Feeder, bottom and float fishing are possible at the water. Carp fishing with boilies is offered at a second pond. The fishing options mentioned therefore differ in where they are available: the three methods are listed for the water, while the boilie option is specifically associated with the second pond.

This second pond is surrounded by woodland, where visitors can watch deer, roe deer and wild ducks. Here, a specific fishing opportunity combines with the chance to observe wildlife. If you are choosing between the ponds based on these interests, note the second pond’s particular connection to both boilie carp fishing and its woodland setting.

Hilly Landscape and Nature

Csurgónagymarton is part of the Zalaapáti-hát, a hilly landscape that extends from north to south. It has been shaped by erosion and denudation. The woodland types mentioned include hornbeam–sessile oak forests, beech forests and mixed oak forests. This gives the landscape two specific points of interest: the extent of the hills and the different woodland communities. Those comparing nature-related attractions can set this landscape description alongside the more local view of the pond surroundings.

Ágneslaki Arboretum: Collection and Visiting Hours

Individual visits to the Ágneslaki Arboretum are possible on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on weekends from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The difference is the opening time: on weekends, the arboretum opens one hour later, while both visiting periods end at 4:00 p.m. The collection includes 52 conifer species and 26 deciduous tree species. The stated number of conifer species is therefore twice that of the deciduous tree species. Opening hours and species counts answer different planning questions: the hours help you choose when to visit, while the collection gives an idea of the diversity of the two tree groups represented.

Reformed Church and Kukorikú-Kukoris Festival

The Reformed Church in Csurgónagymarton was built between 1839 and 1841 and is a protected historic monument. Its construction dates place the building in the 19th century, while its protected status identifies it as protected cultural heritage. For those interested in architectural history, the church is a clear cultural point of interest alongside the nature and fishing attractions.

Another local attraction is the Kukorikú-Kukoris Festival. It is traditionally held every year by the municipality of Csurgónagymarton and Kifoglak Horgásztó. If you would like to include the festival in your travel plans, check the dates for your intended travel year.

Finding Your Way Along the Mária Út

The Mária Út passes through Petőfi utca in Csurgónagymarton and ends at a small lake fed by the Máriás Stream. Two specific points are named to help you follow the route described: Petőfi utca along the way and the lake at the end. This distinguishes the route information from the other themes of the town, without conflating fishing, landscape and architectural history.
