Nature
Lake Szegedi Fehér-tó is part of the Pusztaszeri Tájvédelmi Körzet Landscape Protection Area. As an internationally registered wetland, it plays an important role during the spring and autumn bird migrations.
The birdlife of the protected lake units can be observed from the Beretzk-Péter Lookout Tower on the Sirály Educational Trail; the lookout tower is also suitable for observing the autumn crane migration. The Sirály Educational Trail can be explored on foot and by bicycle all year round. It begins behind the poplar forest at the Kurgán-Természetvédelmi-Bemutatóhely nature conservation visitor site next to the E5 main road at kilometre 157. At the Kurgán Visitor Centre, guided tours can be booked by prior appointment; these can be supplemented by a 1- to 1.5-hour guided walk to Lake Szegedi Fehér-tó.
The itinerary could be: rent a holiday apartment in Szatymaz.
Culture and history
At the Kurgán House, the characteristic burial mounds of the plain are presented in the context of history, folk tradition and nature conservation. The Szatymazi Temetődomb is a Bronze Age burial mound, or kurgan, built around 2000 BC. It preserves ancient vegetation, including dwarf iris (Iris pumila) and lemon thyme (Thymus citriodorus).
The Tisza-völgyi Bemutatóház has a permanent exhibition on the protected natural assets of the Lower Tisza region. Bicycle tours and guided nature walks can be requested there; terrain-suitable bicycles are provided for the bicycle tours.
The holiday villa of Enyedi Lukács, built in 1897 and also known as the Einsenstädter Villa, is a Romantic-Eclectic villa with a hipped roof; its original window arrangement has been preserved. The Vedres-tanya, now the Postakocsi csárda, was built as a postal station in 1800. The Barcsay Villa is still visible at the intersection of Neszűrjhegyi út and the road leading west from the settlement centre, today Kossuth Lajos utca 1, despite alterations. The Enyingi windmill is still visible on the road from Vasút utca towards Forráskút and is 9 metres high.
The stained-glass window ensemble of the church in Szatymaz was created by the Budapest glass artist and mosaicist Zsellér Imre; it is considered the largest of its kind in Hungary. The new church in Szatymaz was built according to plans by Tápai Dezső from Szatymaz and the Szeged architect Sebestyén Endre (1888–1966) in the pointed-arch Gothic Revival style and has room for 1,200 worshippers.
