Fehérgyarmat, the heart of Erdőhát in Hungary’s northeast, is a small town of 9,000 near the right bank of the Someș (Szamos) River. Its name harks back to the 10th century, when part of the conquering Gyarmat tribe settled between the Tisza, Someș (Szamos), and Túr rivers. A rich past lingers in the four-turreted Reformed Church from the 15th century, while a thermal beach bath, leafy parks, and year-round programs keep visitors coming.
