In Bonyhád, you can plan your trip around different interests: the Bonyhádi Termálfürdő brings together swimming and adventure pools, while museums and historic buildings offer insights into different chapters of the town’s history. Szecska tó is another idea for an afternoon. If you’re looking for accommodation, you can start by deciding whether water, cultural history or an event should shape your stay.
Water: Pools and walks
Bonyhádi Termálfürdő has an adventure pool and a swimming pool with 25-metre lanes. Facilities also include a slide, a bay in the slide pool, a current channel, a geyser and neck showers. The sitting pool has its own distinctive features: the water temperature is 38 °C, and there are also six back-massage elements. This makes it easy to choose between the pools based on what you’re looking for—swimming laps, enjoying water attractions or relaxing in the sitting pool.
Szecska tó has a water surface of five hectares and is suitable for afternoon walks. It offers a different way to spend time by the water than the thermal baths: here, you can walk by the lake; there, you can enjoy swimming pools and water attractions. It’s a practical choice for planning your day around outdoor activity or time in the pools.
Buildings and town history
Perczel-kúria has a park that has been a nature reserve since 1975. Perczel Mór is also associated with the house: he was born at Perczel-kúria in 1811. The park and birthplace bring together two different aspects of the town—a protected green space and a biographical connection to Bonyhád’s history.
The Ermel-Vojnits Mausoleum was built between 1905 and 1907 to designs by Sándor Aigner, in a late historicist style. Bonyhád’s Catholic church was consecrated in 1782 in the Baroque style. A large synagogue was consecrated in 1795; both synagogue buildings are now privately owned. The architectural history thus spans from the late 18th century to the first years of the 20th century. When learning about these places, both the historical dates and the current status of the synagogue buildings are relevant.
Museums with different themes
Óvoda Múzeum presents the history of kindergarten education in Bonyhád since 1882. Its exhibition is interactive: visitors may touch the exhibits and use them for play. This makes the exhibition’s character tangible, rather than limiting it to viewing objects.
At Tűzoltó Múzeum, the permanent exhibition on the history of firefighting spans from the guilds to the present day and includes the volunteer fire brigade. The gallery shows the work of state and volunteer firefighters in Bonyhád. Together, the two sections provide both a historical overview of firefighting and a close-up view of firefighters’ work locally.
Events and regional culture
The recurring “KNIPL KFT.” TARKA FESZTIVÁL is a gastronomic and cultural event in Bonyhád and the Völgység region. It takes place on the second weekend of August; the 2025 programme announced its 23rd edition. At the 2025 festival, roast ox was served in Kaszinókert—one specific programme item from that year.
The international folklore festival “Bukovinai Találkozások” is an annual cultural event in the region that preserves traditions. At Székely emlékpark, carved memorial posts, a cross and a memorial bench commemorate the homeland and the deceased. Together, these regional cultural connections offer another point of reference when choosing when to travel or what to focus on. If you’re planning to travel for an event, check the dates for your preferred year.
