Nestled at the foot of the Bükk Mountains, Bogács is the perfect vacation village: healing hot springs, stunning scenery, and the crispest mountain air. Located just 10 miles from Eger and 5 miles from Mezőkövesd, Bogács has made a name for itself not only for its natural beauty, but also for its year-round cultural events and bursts of festival excitement. Most visitors head straight to the town’s thermal baths, open every day of the year—not just for wellness and relaxation, but for an exciting lineup of events that keep people coming back.
2025 Events Calendar: Never a Dull Moment
October kicks off with a high dose of nostalgia at Hintóvölgye, with the “Live Music, Retro & 2000s Party” on October 24. Groove to the greatest party hits of the retro and millennium eras, both on the terrace with DJ Berki from 7 pm to midnight, and inside the climate-controlled, 5,400-square-foot space with Fest DJ spinning until 3 am. Entry? Free all night, including indoors—perfect for late autumn.
On October 25, Bogács Spa and Beach (Bogácsi Gyógy- és Strandfürdő) hosts a musical night swim, just in case a dip in the mineral-rich pools under the stars sounds dreamy. That same Saturday features the “Skillet Foods Festival” (Tárcsás Ételek Fesztiválja), a gourmet delight running from noon until 9:30 pm, serving traditional dishes hot off the griddle.
But there’s no time to rest—Hintóvölgye heats up again with DJ Dominique’s Epic Party, where the legendary DJ delivers a wild night of retro Hungarian classics and modern dance music to keep you on your feet. Live music starts at 6 pm with Czaga József and DJ Berki, building up to the main event: DJ Dominique’s set, kicking off between 12:30 and 1 am.
Also on October 25, don’t miss the lively Wine Tour along the Cserép Road cellar row (Cserép úti pincesor), blending music and local wines in classic Bogács style.
Halloween takes over on November 1 with Hintóvölgye’s Witchy Video Disco (think costumed fun, pumping beats, and spooky visuals). The following weekend begins with November 7’s “Live Music, Hungarian Retro Night” at Hintóvölgye, then continues with three days of Márton Day Festivities, celebrating St. Martin’s Day from November 7–9—complete with feasting and traditional farewells.
On November 8, Hintóvölgye wraps up the fall festival season with “Night of Hits” (Slágerek Éjszakája), a live music and DJ finale. November 10 brings the Polish Friendship Day celebration, a quieter but important cultural event.
No calendar is complete without New Year’s Eve—December 31 brings a blowout Retro Party to ring in 2026 at Hintóvölgye, promising dancing, singing, eating, and drinking in the most stylish way possible. Limited spots are available, but if you’re quick, you’ll be treated to hits from the last 30–40 years performed by Czaga József and a DJ set that keeps the energy high until dawn.
Where to Stay: From Yurts to Modern Comfort
Accommodation in Bogács is as varied as its festivals. The Jurta Holiday Center is unique with its trio of round, yurt-shaped buildings that can house large groups in cozy, smaller rooms—plus five duplex houses offering 10 separate apartments. Several of these are wheelchair accessible.
Right by the western entrance of the famous hot spring complex, the Patak-Party Apartments can host up to 25 people—ideal for families or friends, thanks to flexible room arrangements including a family suite.
The revamped Thermal Campsite and Cabins is open year-round, perfect if you prefer nature. With room for 250 tents or campers beneath shady trees next to the park, plus cozy wooden cabins, the camp is as inviting in winter as it is in summer.
For something boutique, the Thermal Inn (Thermál Panzió) offers nine superior rooms—including a family suite and one fully accessible room—all freshly renovated to meet three-star inn standards. The new conference room holds 50, ideal for meetings or celebrations.
Other lodging options include the eastern and western Bogács Thermal Hotel (Bogácsi Thermál Szálló) buildings, offering a total of 18 two, three, and four-bed rooms (most with room for an extra cot). Akác Guesthouse, quietly located near the sports field and wine cellars, is ideal for families or groups seeking a homey atmosphere and outdoor grilling space.
There’s also Apartman Ildikó, close to the town center, with full amenities and room for 10–12 people, and a classic Ambitus farmhouse with space for up to 11 guests, a large garden, and a communal kitchen for cooking together.
Eat, Drink, and Relive the Hits
Love the music of the 90s, 2000s, or today’s freshest hits? Bogács has you covered—check out local menus where classic country dishes and seasonal specialties share the spotlight. At the Bogács Cellar Row (Bogácsi Pincesor), you’ll get a taste not only of regional cuisine but also of wines from the Bükkalja and Eger regions, enjoying the atmosphere of nearly 300-year-old cellars in a modern setting.
Renowned wine houses like Bacchus Wine Bar (Bacchus Borozó) and others on the Bükkalja Wine Route offer year-round tastings with live music. The regional wine guild, established in 1996, promotes not only the area’s top-quality wines and beautiful landscapes but also the connection between wine, gastronomy, and the arts.
Family-run favorites like Vadvirág Restaurant continue generations of hospitality, inviting every guest to unwind with aromatic foods, excellent wines, or a soothing coffee in a warm, welcoming setting—a genuine retreat from the rush of daily life.
