Geist Promenade and Families' Island The Varrodai Lake is located in the heart of Kondoros, making it a popular spot for evening strolls. Joggers, cyclists, and dog walkers often enjoy circling it. On one side, it is bordered by the Petőfi István Primary School and Dormitory, making it a convenient and pleasant venue for school children's day and parent-organised children's events. On the other side, it is bordered by the Betyár Adventure Playground along with the outdoor sports park, making it a favourite spot for all age groups in the town. On summer evenings, fishing along its banks is a common sight. Additionally, it is situated near several popular attractions, such as the Slovak-Hungarian Landscape and Creative House, the Kondorosi Inn, and the Town Hall. A particularly significant part of the lake is the promenade and Families' Island, which is a very popular venue for outdoor weddings and also hosts film screenings. In winter, when the lake's ice is thick enough, it becomes a beloved spot for ice skaters. The lake features flora similar to that of the Great Plain's irrigation canals and has been planted with water lilies. It is home to numerous fish species and serves as a natural nesting site for wild ducks. Grey herons and storks have also been spotted along its shores.

Kondorosi Inn The Kondorosi Inn is the most iconic building in Kondoros, located in the heart of the town. According to some sources, the original inn was demolished in the early 1820s and replaced with a massive brick fortress, which featured mysterious hiding places, tunnels, and labyrinths within its walls. It is said that the famous outlaw Sándor Rózsa himself escaped his pursuers through the tunnel system beneath the inn. The "old inn," believed to have been lost due to walling up in the 1910s, regained its former shape by 1985. Since 2002, the Kondorosi Inn has been owned by the town. Thanks to a successful grant, it was renovated and now operates not only as a restaurant renowned far and wide for its excellent cuisine but also as an inn museum. The collection housed here offers insight into the lives of the once-famous outlaws and, thanks to the diligent collecting efforts of locals, includes countless old household items that were still common in every home just a few decades ago but are now rarely seen. Thanks to the latest developments, the local history collection has been further expanded, and the inn museum has become interactive. Sándor Rózsa can be brought to life not only through his wax figure, wanted poster, or signature but also virtually, as visitors can take his place among the outlaws and shoot at stagecoaches from horseback. With the help of the "escape museum," visitors can not only observe but actively participate in re-enacted historical events and traditional programmes, such as dressing in outlaw attire or trying their hand at cracking a bullwhip.
