Celldömölk: Volcanic Landscapes and Ság Hill

Celldömölk offers several distinct points of interest to help you plan your trip: an interactive exhibition about the volcanic world, Ság Hill with its natural and cultural connections, and markets held on set days of the week. If you are looking for a hotel, you can first decide which of these themes you would like to focus on during your stay.

Volcanic Park and Ság Hill

The Kemenes Vulkán Park explores the world of volcanoes across nearly 1,000 square metres. The exhibition is interactive and features simulators and a short film. The park also organises volcano tours, where visitors can learn about the formation of Ság Hill in an engaging way. The exhibition and tour offer two different ways to explore the subject of volcanoes: the park focuses on interactive learning, while the tour covers the formation of the hill. Check the availability of tours in advance.

At the foot of Ság Hill, the family-friendly Vasparipa Játszópark outdoor playground is next to the Kemenes Vulkán Park. Its facilities include a miniature railway, a station building and a locomotive shed, giving the playground a distinct railway theme. Check the operator’s current access information before your visit. The Sághegyi Múzeum is about a 15-minute walk from the Kemenes Vulkán Park building; this approximate walking time can help you plan your schedule.

Volcanoes in Vas County

In the wider Eisenburg travel destination, the Vulkán Tour in Vas County takes visitors to Kis-Somlyó, Ság Hill and Belső-hegy. This offers a regional perspective on the subject: the Vulkán Tour lists three destinations, while the tours organised by the Kemenes Vulkán Park cover the formation of Ság Hill. The two perspectives therefore differ in scope, while keeping the park’s local focus in view.

Nature and a place of remembrance

The entire area of Ság Hill has been protected since 1975. The Sághegyi Tájvédelmi Körzet protects the hill’s geological values and its distinctive wildlife and plant life. The Trianoni Emlékkereszt is also located nearby, on Ság Hill, which rises at the edge of the town. Nature and culture come together on the same hill; the area’s protection explicitly covers both its geological values and its wildlife and plant life.

Weekly markets and flea market

Local producers can be found on Thursdays and Saturdays at the square in front of the pilgrimage church and in the covered market hall. The hall offers honey, cheese, fresh seasonal vegetables and fruit, pickled vegetables, jams and syrups. The selection thus ranges from fresh seasonal produce to pickled and sweet products.

A flea market is also held on Thursdays at the end of Nagyvárad utca. The producers’ market is also open on Saturdays, while Thursday is the day listed for the flea market. Check the markets’ current operating details before travelling so that you can plan around the days listed.
