Come and visit Tiszaug, this hidden village in the Tiszazug-small
region.
People driving by on Route 44 don't know what they pass
unnoticed as the embarkment built for the railway hides the village
from their view.
How to get there?
You may arrive by bus or train as well. If you arrive by car,
turn off Route 44 between the 32-33 km marks and go under the
railway embarment or between the 35-36 km marks to the Tiszaug
access road. All you need to do is a 5.7 km (3.6 miles) detour off
Route 44 and you will see the oxbow lake, find the cache and visit
the sights of the village.
Turn on the dead-end narrow gravel road facing the village hall
(Községháza in Hungarian) in order to find parking (see
waypont).
Look for the cache on the waterfront. After you found the
cache you may rest here, surrounded by peace and quite. A perfect
place to meditate on the important issues of life or to have a bite
to eat.
Things to see:
The oxbow lake and the tipical bridge over the Tisza that
is even depicted in the coat of arms of the village. The Dam
Guard House (see waypoint) and the Flood Memorial. The
Dam Guard's House is the center of flood control. Unfortunately,
even it has been flooded a few times. Check the flood levels of the
last decades on the wall!
Next to the house is a slice of the trunk of a huge black poplar
that was also the victim of a flood.
The Village Museum is established in a typical local
house. Here you may learn about the history of Tiszaug.
In the cellar under the village museum there is a Museum of
Wine-growing. It's wrought iron gate originates from the
hunting castle that once was owned by the Rákóczi family.
The museum's address: Rákóczi út 42. Phone number: +36 56 328

In the summer there is a beach on the east side of the
horseshoe shaped oxbow lake (see waypoint).
Wood-carvers József Balázs and Mrs. Ede Balázs and pirograver
folk artist Olar Mircea live in Tiszaug. Their art can be seen
throughout the village.
On a nearby farm traditional Hungarian animals can be seen: a
herd of Hungarian grey cattle, racka sheep, buffalo.
