Hungarian Tourist House of the Year: Captivating Hearts with Stunning Photos
The Rostalló Eco-Aware Education Center (RÖNK) has been named the Tourist House of the Year 2023 after receiving the most votes in the public voting of Aktív Magyarország. This prestigious award is the third consecutive win for ÉZKAERDŐ Ltd., the company behind the center.
The RÖNK complex, which opened two years ago, was created by repurposing unused buildings located in the heart of the Zemplén Mountains on the premises of the Intermountain Forestry Directorate. The goal was to give the area a new purpose and create an attraction near the Pálháza State Forest Railway Rostalló station. This addition aims to make the journey from Kőkapu worth the visit.
One of the highlights of RÖNK is its unique design, which incorporates architectural elements from traditional villages in Zemplén. The colorful buildings feature a well, a belfry, and a reception gate, adding charm to the accommodation, exhibition, and activity buildings. The center can accommodate up to 34 people, making it suitable for school trips and camps. It also includes a research room for studying the environment, a conference room for small gatherings, and an exhibition space where visitors can take a virtual walk through the forest or explore a life-size hunting lodge.
ÉZKAERDŐ Ltd.’s CEO, Adorján Zay, expressed his joy and gratitude for winning the Tourist House of the Year award for the third consecutive time. He stated that this recognition not only promotes tourism opportunities in Zemplén but also affirms the hard work and dedication of the team. The previous winners of this award include the Szelcepuszta Tourist House in 2021 and the Zsófia Lookout in the Bükk Mountains in 2022.
The recognition received by RÖNK is a testament to its commitment to eco-aware education and providing visitors with a unique and immersive experience in the Zemplén Mountains. It continues to showcase the beauty and rich culture of the region, attracting tourists from near and far.
