Cradle of water-lilies in the summer,
the Holt-Tisza oxbow lake is a favorite place to chill in the winter-time as well. When it freezes over, a highway of brilliant ice invites the whole family for ice skating, hockey, or plain sliding. …And even when the air vibrates with joy and laughter, one can sense the peace and serenity of the surroundings.

Endre Penovac lives in a gingerbread house. One of his studio’s windows faces north, the other one overlooks the garden. When not resting in the shade of the Sky Vine, his two corded coat Pulis guard the entrance. Distinguishing mark of his street: where the Acacia branches hang over the road.
Zsuzsi (Susan) Scenic Railway bears the name of the first 107 horsepower steam locomotive that ran on the old, 950 mm gauge railway near Debrecen. In 1961, the rail was re-gauged to 760 mm (2 ft 5⅞ in), and the old steam engines were replaced by Mk48 diesel locomotives. Since 1996, the narrow gauge lines between
Debrecen and Harmashegyalja survive as a preservation project.
Just 22 miles east of Kecskemet, the Tiszakurt Arboretum, once part of the private property of the Italian Bolza family, is now open to the public.

Established in the 1970s on the River Tisza, Lake Tisza is a large expanse of
open water, with numerous islands, extensive
reedbeds, and floating vegetation. It provides habitat for a wide variety of resident and passage
birds, it is rich in
fish, and it is one of the most popular
tourist attractions in Hungary.
May 1st, 2007 was a bit windy in Tiszakecske, but this did not deter the celebration-ready crowd from enjoying
family fun and merriment. Keeping with established tradition, the local art groups entertained the guests with dazzling performances.
Competition dancers,
folk dance groups, and
modern dance performers took center stage one after the other, and the local
zither band enchanted the audience with a concert/jam session that was indeed music to the ears.
