Szekszárdi járás Essentials

Szekszárdi járás combines the Gemenc forest’s wetlands within the Danube-Drava National Park with a centuries-old winemaking tradition. The district capital features Neoclassical architecture like the Vármegyeháza and Hungary’s only German-speaking theater, reflecting the region's ethnic diversity. Visitors can explore the 19th-century gingerbread workshop of the Petrits family, historic manor houses in Medina, and hillside chapels overlooking the Sárköz plains and extensive vineyards.
