Welcome!
A warm welcome to our over a hundred year old farmhouse in the sandbucka countryside of the Southern Great Plain. We are surrounded by the landscape we call home. Öttömös is on the route of the National Blue Route and is on the route of the Hungarian MARIA pilgrimage, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. We have created all that we would like to present here for the refreshment of body and soul.
Make yourself at home with us!

Explore! – Attractions in the area
The Sandhut – a place of wonders… J.R.R. Tolkien knew this when he wrote the buckland region of his world-famous novel Lord of the Rings, i.e. Middle-earth, inspired by the Hungarian Sandhut. The surface of the region between the Danube and the Tisza is largely determined by the fine-grained sand of the Ancient Danube, and it is on this natural basis that the natural, human and cultural heritage whose values animate the landscape has flourished. A hidden landscape… Let’s discover it together!
