An interesting fact#keszthelyi-setaloutcaAt the end of the Promenade Street is the Simon House, built around 1790, where the country's first beauty queen, Böske Simon, was born in 1909. At the age of 16, she was chosen as the beauty of the Promenade of Keszthely, and then in 1926 she was chosen as the Fairy of the Balaton. In 1929 she became "Miss Hungary" and then "Miss Europe".
Our favorite#georgikon-majormuzeumOne of the most exciting exhibits of the museum is the original, still functioning Fowler steam engine, which is usually started up on special occasions and engine meetings.
Hint#georgikon-majormuzeumThe play barn may be interesting for today's children, since peasant children used to lounge in the soft straw, play hide and seek. Now there is the possibility to experience this carefree game with the help of the climbing ropes, hanging bars and climbing walls placed in the barn.
Hint#helikon-park-es-helikon-emlekmuHave you ever been to the Helikon Park? On the park grounds a dog run and agility course was created, which can be visited free of charge every day of the week from 0 to 24 hours.
An interesting fact#nepviseletes-babamuzeumThe museum launched a competition with the help of the children's magazine Napsugár from Cluj, in which they asked schoolchildren and their parents to send in the traditional clothing of their locality. Some opinions say that this happened at the last minute, as folk traditions are beginning to fade in Transylvania. Similarly, traditional clothing arrived from Upper Hungary, Southern Hungary, and Transcarpathia.We have selected for you
