Szentgál

Szentgál lies in the embrace of the Bakony forests, where history and nature form a unique harmony. The settlement is famous for the largest yew forest in Central Europe, the Szentgáli-kőlik cave, and the Miklós Pál Hill lookout tower. Its cultural heritage is enriched by Reformed and Catholic churches, the country house, and the folk traditions of Pávakör. Hunting and woodcarving are still living traditions today, and the colorful presence of the European bee-eater bird offers a special natural experience.
