Apor Bastion Towering above Băile Tușnad, on the slopes of Szurdok-tető, stands the picturesque Apor Bastion, which serves not only as a lookout point but also as a cultural landmark, playing an important role in the life of the region. Built in 1883, at the end of the 19th century, the structure was realised at the initiative of Baron Károly Apor, with the aim of providing a resting and viewing point for spa visitors – thus, the bastion never served a military purpose.

Bodrog river - a Living River, Floodplain Heritage and Sustainable Water-Based Experiences The Bodrog river is one of the most distinctive floodplain rivers of the Carpathian Basin, shaping the everyday life of communities along its banks for centuries. Settlement patterns, transport routes and traditional livelihoods have long adapted to the river’s water regime: older village centres were typically established on higher ground to avoid floods, while floodplain meadows, gallery forests and oxbow lakes formed a diverse and dynamic landscape closer to the river. The Bodrog represented not only a challenge, but also a vital resource. Its fish-rich waters, riverside orchards and meadows, and its humid microclimate contributed to local livelihoods and, in several areas, indirectly supported the unique climatic conditions of the Tokaj wine region.
