Garabonc

Garabonc combines farm activities with history, theatre and cycling. Several experiences are available at the Garabonciás Farm; in the village, there are also two permanent exhibitions, a historic stone cross and original plays. The Garabonc–Nagyrada cycling route section caters to these varied interests.

Experiences at the Garabonciás Farm

At the Garabonciás Farm, rides and active pursuits go hand in hand: horse riding, carriage rides in a covered wagon, a hunting carriage or a wedding carriage, electric quad rides and archery. Guided farm visits with animal encounters are arranged by appointment. If you are planning such a visit, make sure to factor the appointment into your day’s itinerary.

History and theatre in the village

The two permanent exhibitions at the 7Vezér Történelmi Kalandpark can be visited with a purchased admission ticket. The stone cross, erected in 1856 as a symbol of the old village, stands in front of Garabonc’s Roman Catholic church. Members of the theatre group perform their own plays at the Pajtaszínház. The traditional anglers’ ball is considered one of the most important events in Garabonc. Historical connections, exhibitions, theatre and a traditional event thus offer different points of cultural interest.

Zala as an additional regional setting

The wider Zala destination offers further landscape and cultural themes that extend beyond Garabonc. Kis-Balaton is Zala’s largest body of water, is strictly protected and covers 14,745 hectares. It is also the setting for István Fekete’s classic novels Tüskevár and Téli berek. The Zalai Borvidék wine region developed on the slopes and plateaus of the Zalai-dombság and on the northwestern slopes of the Keszthelyi-hegység. It comprises two wine-growing districts and 38 settlements.

The Kápolnapuszta Bivalyrezervátum hosts its water buffalo festival every year in May or June. During opening hours, visitors to the reserve may pet the tame animals every day. The area can be explored along a 1.5-kilometre walking trail with rest stops and viewpoints. These regional landscape and visitor attractions provide a distinct setting within Zala.
