Nagybaracska – Sobri Cup and Island Experiences

The Sobri Cup on the Ferenc Canal

The Sobri Cup is a fish-cooking competition held on the banks of the Ferenc Canal in Nagybaracska, with a cultural programme. It has developed into an international competition. Hungarians living beyond the country’s borders also take part regularly. This means that fish cuisine and culture are both in focus at the competition.

If you would like to plan your trip around the Sobri Cup, check the exact event date in advance. International participation is a special aspect of the competition; at the same time, the accompanying programme complements its culinary focus with cultural offerings.

Fishing, water tourism and cycling on Füzes Island

The tourist visitor centre is located on Füzes Island, which is surrounded by the Füzesi Óduna. It offers experiences related to fishing, water tourism and cycling. This provides a different perspective on Nagybaracska alongside the competition: the focus here is on activities connected with water and cycling.

When planning your trip, it is worth weighing up the different focuses. The Sobri Cup combines fish cooking with a cultural programme; the visitor centre focuses on fishing, water tourism and cycling.
