Once again there will be caravan exhibition and terrain rally racing cars.

The"Food-TruckCaravan" in the asphalted main street will be a novelty in the field of hospitality. In the spirit of traditionalism, there will again be a "Backyard and Craft Fair ".

From the producers you will be able to buy directly the home made sausages, cheese, honey, jam, spices, etc... There will be freshly baked chimney cakes, craft beer, wine and “pálinka”. In the chop house, situated in Water Tower Park, you will be able to buy also pork-toting dishes, along with many other home-cooked dishes: stuffed cabbage, fried sausage, ham etc...

In front of the country house will be exhibited old production tools: corn crumbler, grinder, pumpkin peeler, butter churning, etc... Visitors can try out these tools!

Children can feed the animals in the paddocks, with corn crumbled by themselves. In our three paddocks, we will have 30 types of animals, including cute pets: dwarf goat, mini piglet, bunny, and chicken. They can be petted, and feed by children.

Also in the Water Tower Park will be the youngsters  favourite, the "Sport and Tuning Car Exhibition”.

Here you will find a lot of extra vehicles, with a wide range of styles, from tuning cars to Formula Racing cars. Of course, there will be also "retro tuning" cars! In the tuning car section, HELL energy drinks will be offered by pretty pit-girls, and children will be able to return home with a gift plush animal.J We hope to be able to set up the Ferris wheels in this year, from which you can see the exhibition area from a bird's-eye view.

The grassy-wooded area after the entrance 2 will, as usual, be furnished by traditionalist military forces. Here there will be veteran military vehicles, an old weapons show, a military camp and military demonstrations every day at 2:00 p.m.

As a family-friendly event, there will be plenty of free games for children: airsoft shooting, archery, craftsmanship, face painting, petting zoo, bungee jumping, and firefighting imitation – all free!

There will be also a model car exhibition in the Orient, a railway model exhibition, a terrain table exhibition and a playground in the large park.

The adult visitors, in addition to the oldtimer cars and engines exhibited in the locomotive-circuit heating house, can also meet oldtimers in many other places in the park areas: USA cars, hotrods, buses, trucks, tractors, stable engines.

There will be free of charge for the tryout of the rotating locomotives in the big park.

All interactive programs of the Railway History Park will be in operation: horse railway, rail car, manual railway, garden railway and we will heat up a real steam train again. In addition, all the attractions of the park can be viewed: steam train exhibition, railway car exhibition, etc...
