Cycling, horseback riding and hiking

The pump track in Jászárokszállás is multifunctional and designed in a dirt-jump style. It was opened in 2022. This makes it a clearly defined part of the local cycling scene.

Jeddi Farm is on the outskirts of town. It offers carriage rides, trail rides, hunting rides and cross-country riding. This range is quite different from the pump track: horses and rides take centre stage here, while the pump track is all about cycling.

The Futárok Sport Klub in Jászárokszállás has six sections for orienteering, athletics and hiking. Together, these activities offer a variety of sporting interests, from cycling and horse riding to running and hiking.

Thermal baths and Peres-laposi-tó

Jászárokszállás Thermal and Beach Baths include a renovated thermal pool, a swimming pool and a children’s adventure pool, which opened in 2017. Check the baths’ opening hours before your visit.

Peres-laposi-tó is near the thermal and beach baths and is a popular fishing spot. The baths and the lake offer different ways to enjoy the water: the baths are known for their pools, while the lake is a popular place to fish. This lets you explore Jászárokszállás’s waters from two different perspectives.

Squares, columns and home life

A Baroque Marian column stands in the square in front of the church. The Mária-oszlop is in the park beside the church. Időkapu stands in the well-kept, flower-filled main square. These places give local history a tangible presence in public spaces.

Jászház illustrates the way of life and domestic culture of a farming family from the Jászság region that was becoming part of the middle class. This adds another perspective to the columns and Időkapu: the home life and daily routine of a family. Those interested in cultural history will find a subject here that differs from the town’s monuments.

Regional perspectives within the wider destination of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok

Within the wider destination of Jász-Nagykun-Szolnok, Lake Tisza in the northern part of the county serves as a tourism hub. The lake and its surroundings are among the region’s outstanding areas for cycling tourism. The international EuroVelo II cycle route also runs along the Tisza through the county.

Another regional natural attraction is the Tiszakürt Arboretum, which is of national botanical importance and is home to more than 1,000 plant species and varieties. The Öregkert area has a signposted network of 3.5 kilometres of walking paths.

Choose the right focus for your stay
