Dear Visitor,<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the official website of the Municipality of Szihalom!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"polgarmester\"Szihalom is located in the southern part of Heves County, at the gateway to the beautiful B\u00fckk Foothills, surrounded by the picturesque landscapes of the M\u00e1tra Mountains and the nearby Lake Tisza. Our village is just a few kilometres from Mez\u0151k\u00f6vesd, home to one of Hungary’s best-known thermal spas. The historic city of Eger, the famous Eger wine region, and the many recreational opportunities offered by Lake Tisza are also within easy reach.<\/p>\n

Our neighbouring settlements are Ostoros and Novaj to the north, Mez\u0151k\u00f6vesd to the northeast, Mez\u0151szemere to the southeast, Mez\u0151t\u00e1rk\u00e1ny to the south, F\u00fczesabony to the southwest, and Makl\u00e1r to the northwest.<\/p>\n

Szihalom was first mentioned under the name Zenuhalomu<\/em> in the Gesta Hungarorum<\/em>, a medieval chronicle written by Anonymus. According to the chronicle:<\/p>\n

“Prince \u00c1rp\u00e1d and his companions set out and reached the waters of the Egur (Eger)… and they named the hill where they had erected a leafy shelter for their leader Zenuholmu (Szihalom).”<\/em><\/p>\n

Szihalom is special not only because of its beautiful location, but also because of its people. Our village is home to a welcoming, close-knit community where respect for tradition goes hand in hand with building a better future. We take pride in our rich history, vibrant folk traditions, and the warm hospitality that every visitor can experience.<\/p>\n
