All sessions take place in Lajosmizse.
Stay, Unwind, and Explore the Great Plain
Set in the heart of the Great Hungarian Plain, Geréby Mansion (Geréby Kúria) Hotel and Riding Court sits in a postcard setting just a half hour by car from Budapest and 1.9 miles from the Lajosmizse exit on the M5. Summer here is pure invitation; in winter, a horse-drawn sleigh across the steppe makes for an unforgettable ride. The hotel offers 58 rooms and suites with capacity for 130 guests, plus a cozy, family-style wellness area that’s a little island of calm. It’s a standout venue for conferences and weddings, too.
Step Into Living History in the Yurt Camp
A year-round, tradition-preserving yurt camp brings to life the culture and everyday objects of Turanian peoples through fully furnished yurts, each designed around the customs of groups from six Turanian clans. Visitors can see and try on traditional clothing, handle tools, and explore ways of life and gastronomy through interactive programs—even over several days. It’s immersive, tactile, and built for curiosity.
Quiet Comfort Between Lajosmizse and Kecskemét
Another inviting hotel sits between Lajosmizse and Kecskemét along Route 5, just 0.5 miles from the M5. It’s peaceful yet easy to reach, perfect for downtime. Guests wake to a generous buffet breakfast, with a private dining room ready for lunch and dinner. The elegant, heritage-styled conference room adapts to your setup needs, and the wellness services round out a restorative stay.
Mizsei Lovastanya: Switch Off, Saddle Up
Out on Lajosmizse’s outskirts, Mizsei Lovastanya is a family-style riding ranch built for guests who want to unplug from tech. Spread over nearly 124 acres, animals roam free—horses, dogs, cats, pot-bellied pigs, miniature ponies, donkeys, and Pizsi the sheep. There’s a 13,455-square-foot indoor arena with a changing room and club space, and summer camps for kids and adults.
Roadside Rest or Basecamp: Mizse Motel
Mizse Motel sits at the Lajosmizse rest area on the M5, about 30 minutes from Budapest and 11 miles from Kecskemét. It’s a convenient stop for cross-country travelers and a simple, practical base for families and business guests seeking a breather.
Folk-Flair Stays at Vadvirágos Guesthouse
Just a minute’s drive from Lajosmizse and the M5, Vadvirágos Guesthouse blends new construction with old soul. Its facade sports ancient Hungarian motifs—tulips, vines, the tree of life, mallow, and the winged sun disk—applied in traditional lime mortar. Inside, rustic pine furniture sets the tone; rooms and kitchens are fully equipped. Outside, there’s a garden shelter, oven, yurt, and a playground. The 3.7-acre fenced, landscaped plot is developing an herb garden—ideal for a short stop or a weeks-long retreat.
Eat Local, Savor Big
Drop in for unique, handcrafted chocolates and brittle confections. In downtown Lajosmizse by the old Route 5, Silver Fir (Ezüstfenyő) Restaurant and Pizzeria champions famed Kunság hospitality with standout Hungarian and international dishes served by guest-focused staff. Korona Restaurant offers refined surroundings and attentive service, and can host events or deliver meals by arrangement outside normal hours.
