Biharugra

Nestled in the northeastern corner of Békés County, near the Hungarian-Romanian border, lies the gem of Biharugra, boasting unparalleled cultural and natural treasures. The village is surrounded by Hungary's second-largest artificial fishpond system, part of the Körös-Maros National Park’s Kis-Sárrét region. Walking through Biharugra's streets brings the old Alföld peasant traditions to life, with the authentically restored folk house, Reformed parsonage, Kis-Sárrét farmhand's house, and Bölöny Mansion offering visitors a real journey back in time. The village is also the birthplace of Pál Szabó, a prominent figure in Hungary’s folk literary movement.
