Day 1

Spa treatments combined with carefree rest at the Sárvár Spa and Wellness Bath

Sárvár welcomes you with open arms. The Spa and Wellness Bath offers you not only a good rest but you can also find a cure for your sore joints, rheumatic complaints or unpleasant back pain. In addition to the spa wing, which is filled with Sárvár’s medicinal waters, the sauna world is an oasis of tranquillity. Rheumatologists can prescribe treatments and spa therapies without a medical referral. Visit the Sárvár Spa and enjoy the healing bubbles.  

Nádasdy Castle – one of the best preserved Renaissance palaces in Hungary

The construction of the Nádasdy Castle in Sárvár only began in the late 13th century but it saw its heyday when it was owned by the Nádasdy family in the 16th and 17th centuries. This long history provides the basis for diverse exhibitions: you can see famous works of glass art at the glass exhibition, there is an exhibition presenting the everyday life of the most Hungarian of military units, the Hussars, and you can also discover how furniture styles changed over the centuries and even see the Nádasdy clock, the only work of art belonging to the family that once owned the castle. The ceremonial hall is perhaps the most impressive sight: it is one of the most imposing Hungarian Baroque interiors in the country with its dazzling murals and stuccos. If you are interested in Renaissance history, you can immerse yourself in it here.  

Day 2

Relax in the wonderful spa water of the Bükfürdő Thermal & Spa bath complex

The second largest spa in Hungary can be used to help treat almost all locomotor disorders: you can enjoy the blessing effects of the healing thermal water under wonderful conditions. This complex – offering a spa and bath, a slide park, an adventure pool, a sauna world and a medical wellness section – provides treatments such as mud packs, underwater jet massages, underwater group exercises or weight baths. But you can also relax in the spacious lounges or in the open air under the lush trees. Be part of a real physical and mental rejuvenation and also try the inviting spa and wellness treatments.  

Centuries of holiness in the Parish Church of St. Clement

Visit the Parish Church of St. Clement in Bük, where you can admire fabulous Roman, Gothic and Baroque details. The construction of the church began in the 13th century, and you can see fragments of murals from these times inside. The rest of the wall paintings date from around the 1700s, when almost the entire building was remodelled in Baroque style. This captivating sacred site is a single-nave, side-chapel building, and you can also admire the spectacular main altarpiece made by Ferenc Storno Sr. Did you know that the eponym of this parish church, the martyr St. Clement, is one of the earliest saints of the Church? 

During your visit

Blauburger

Harmonious acids, purple colour, berry fruit flavours: you simply must taste some wines made from Blauburger grapes. If you are in the vicinity of Kőszeg, close to the Austrian-Hungarian border, there is one more thing, apart from the many exciting sights, that you really shouldn’t miss; the heavenly wine made from Blauburger blue grapes. This grape variety can also be found in the Eger bull’s blood, the deservedly famous Hungarian wine, which speaks for itself. Cheers!

Nádasdy dumplings

Not only is the Nádasdy Castle worth exploring; you should also let in the temptation of one of the jewels of Hungarian cuisine, the mouth-watering Nádasdy dumplings: these walnut-sized dumplings offer a sweet treat while you’re exploring the local sights. When you hear about the fragrant dumplings filled with cinnamon plum jam it’ll make your mouth water. Head to a local restaurant and taste this delicious treat.
