Day 1: Vásárosnamény – Tákos – Csaroda – Panyola

You will walk around Bereg Museum in Vásárosnamény with an expert guide. The museum provides a faithful cross-section of the former life and traditions of Szatmár and Bereg counties. From there, you will go on to the "Barefoot Notre Dame" in the village of Tákos, which is a reformed church the size of a rural house, yet wonderfully decorated and preserved. In its garden, there are native fruit trees, typical of the landscape, unknown or hardly known elsewhere. Lunch in a farmyard, in a genuine and cosy environment, tasting traditional Bereg dishes and plum pálinka. In Csaroda, you can admire the church of the smiling saints built in the Middle Ages, followed by Panyola, where you will end the day with an excursion to the plum orchard on the banks of the Szamos River.

Day 2: Panyola

The enterprise called Panyolium was founded by a young couple who did not want to leave but wished to stay and pass on the tradition. Following ancient methods, the fruits are prepared and dried by hand. They show you around the plant, and while you listen to the old stories, you can taste what they offer to you. During the season you can also get involved in traditional jam making. Families make the black gold of Szatmár without stopping for at least one day. In the late afternoon you are welcome at the pálinka distillery of Panyolai Szilvórium with a guided brewing demonstration, tasting and dinner of Szatmár dishes.

Day 3: Panyola

In the morning you’ll set off on a light canoe trip on the Old Túr, one of our most romantic rivers. No experience is needed as it is a safe river of slow flow. Then you’ll close the programme with a traditional Sunday lunch.
