… Nagykörű – Closing our eyes, in our dreams, we are flying like birds from the river Tisza, among the old trees of the drainage area, towards the cherry trees in the yard of the Baroque church. From the simple beauty of the peasants’ houses to the white splendour of the blossoming cherry trees, from folk dance to restaurants, from the sunset by the river Tisza to the fresh air of a summer night. In our village, among its hills and gentle slopes, you can enjoy a landscape which is completely different from the usual one in the Great Hungarian Plain. This is the cherry orchard of Hungary, where tradition is harmonically mixed with the modern world.

The village of colours…

Nagykörű is a colourful village. The river Tisza is really yellowish. However, following the changes of colours in the sky, the water can become dark blue or steel grey and the sand in the riverbank has the colour of gold. Hardly can you find a place in the Great Hungarian Plain where so many shades of green can be seen. The fresh green of the grass on the dam and the greenish-yellow, transparent veil of the willows ensure that you will never forget the place. Here you can be really close to nature; under the dam, the water, in which the church is reflected, is rippled by the light breeze.

The village of discoveries…

Walking from the folklore museum to the church and back to the dam, the visitor can make a lot of interesting discoveries. The sandy beach, the veil of the willows and the green dam, where the traditional Hungarian “racka” sheep and grey cattles graze, give you unforgettable experiences. The old, blossoming cherry trees make the village a place which is worth visiting again and again

The village of cherrys…

The cherry orchard is majestic every time of the year. The sunset in winter from a high point of the garden is unforgettable; in spring, our visitors can go through the blossoming orchard in a coach, in summer they can enjoy the cherries, the only heart-shaped fruit of the world. In autumn, the garden is memorable for the beautiful colours of the leaves.

The village of atmospheres…

Nagykörű is a pleasant mixture of the modern and the traditional. The place is famous for its traditional cherry brandy, for the river Tisza and its majestic drainage area. The visitors can enjoy the pleasures of the water: try rowing, canoeing, swimming and cycling on the dam.
