Keselyosfapuszta is located near the banks of the Drava. A nature trail on the edge of the village leads through the floodplain to the river, while the Három folyó cycling route passes through the area. River nature, birdlife and cycling are therefore the defining themes of a stay here.

Nature trail on the banks of the Drava

The Keselyősfapusztai nature trail provides information about the wildlife and plant life of the Drava floodplain and leads through former river channels to the riverbank. From there, you can see a large cormorant colony on the opposite bank. The trail also offers views across the Drava to the Kormorános Forest Reserve. In this way, the route combines knowledge of the floodplain with a specific perspective on the river’s landscape and birdlife.

The Három folyó cycling route

The cross-border Három folyó cycling route connects the Mura, Drava and Danube rivers and passes through Keselyősfapuszta. The section between Barcs and Mohács runs along the Drava. This makes two points of reference for the route clear: the place it passes through and the named river section between the two towns. If you are interested in cycling, you can distinguish the local connection from the broader route concept.

Birds and fishing in nearby Matty

The nearby Mattyi Madár Emlékpark commemorates bird species that have disappeared from Hungary or moved to new habitats. Information boards display illustrations of birds, short descriptions and distribution maps. Here, remembrance of the species is combined with clear information about their appearance and distribution.

Fishing is permitted at nearby Mattyi-tó from the shore, from jetties and from boats. Check the current local rules before fishing.

More perspectives in the wider destination of Baranya

The wider destination of Baranya offers additional, distinct cultural and nature-related themes. In Pécs, the Early Christian Necropolis of Sopianae includes decorated tombs dating from the 4th century. They consist of underground burial chambers with above-ground memorial chapels and richly decorated Christian wall paintings.

The Zsolnay Cultural Quarter includes the exhibitions “Golden Age of Zsolnay” and “Pink Exhibition”, as well as an exhibition on the history of the family and the factory. For children, the quarter offers outdoor playgrounds, an interactive lab, a planetarium, the Bóbita Puppet Theatre, a ceramics painting workshop and classes at the Hercules Workshop.

Near Szaporca, the Ős-Dráva Visitor Centre offers an interactive exhibition, a demonstration farm area with hands-on farming activities and three themed nature trails. These provide information about traditional farming, the Ős-Dráva programme and the wildlife along the Drava. The farm area features native Hungarian domestic animals, including grey cattle, Mangalica pigs, Hucul horses, and old breeds of sheep and poultry. Another nature attraction in the wider destination of Baranya is the Wilderness Nature Trail along the Old Drava: it includes a birdwatching and bird-ringing station, a lookout point, a photography hide, a covered activity area and several rest stops. The “Art in Nature” programme at the Nagyharsány Sculpture Park includes a guided tour of the sculpture park.
