Nagyatád between the Stations of the Cross, Art and Thermal Baths
Accommodation in Nagyatád
Nagyatád offers a variety of experiences: a Stations of the Cross trail runs along the hillside and stream, while Széchenyi tér features listed architecture and a tree-lined park with memorials. There are also outdoor sculptures, exhibitions and a thermal spa that welcomes visitors all year round. You can tailor your mix of culture, walks and relaxation to your own interests.
Stations of the Cross, sculptures and green spaces
The Stations of the Cross trail is about 1,500 metres long and has 14 stations. It begins at the roughly 300-year-old Szentháromság statue in front of the church and runs through a natural setting on the hillside and along the stream in Nagyatád. The combination of the stations and the landscape brings religious waypoints together with a walk in the green surroundings.
The open-air collection in Szoborpark comprises nearly 60 sculptures and can be visited all year round; the collection may change. Another place for a stroll is the tree-lined park on Széchenyi tér: walking paths and benches invite you to wander and linger, and sculptures are also part of the scene.
Architecture and places of remembrance
On Széchenyi tér, the Szent Kereszt Felmagasztalása Plébániatemplom and the Franciscan monastery form a listed ensemble in the Neo-Baroque style. They were built around the middle of the 18th century. In the park by the square, the Hősök szobra and the Bors-István memorial commemorate the people of Nagyatád who died in the two world wars.
At the entrance to the town stands the Szent Rókus-kápolna, built in the Baroque style by Ferenc Czindery in 1743. Together with the ensemble on Széchenyi tér, it offers a tangible impression of the historic architecture you can discover during a stay in Nagyatád.
Art, local history and exhibitions
T25 features art exhibitions, a memorial room dedicated to Bertók László and a photo exhibition about the city’s refugee camp during the Yugoslav Wars. Exhibition content may change; check what is on display before your visit.
The Városi Múzeum has been based at T25 since 2025. Its collection showcases relics from the city’s history and mementos from Nagyatád’s heyday around the turn of the 20th century. The museum courtyard is also a stop on the Nagyatád Stations of the Cross trail.
Another exhibition at the Turisztikai Központ is devoted to Nagyatád’s military history. It features more than a hundred uniforms, as well as weapons, military equipment, documents, badges and decorations. Together, the exhibitions offer different ways to explore the city’s history, from remembrance and photography to military-historical objects.
Lake and thermal spa: different ways to enjoy the water
Csónakázó-tó is in the town centre and is mainly suited to fishing, not swimming. In winter, people also skate there. If you are specifically looking for pools, a sauna or massages, Nagyatádi Termál és Gyógyfürdő offers a different focus: the thermal spa has indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna and massages, and welcomes visitors all year round. Operating details may change; check the latest information before your visit.
Choose the right focus for your trip
When looking for a holiday apartment in Nagyatád, it is worth first considering what you want your holiday to centre on: walks and outdoor art, architecture and local history, or a visit to the thermal spa.
