Thanks to European Union funding, a new development has taken shape in the Nyírjes district of Balassagyarmat that can even entice the most dedicated homebodies to step outside and enjoy the fresh air. Nyírjes is a popular resort area around Balassagyarmat, a favorite destination for those seeking closeness to nature. The artificial lake system, consisting of six lakes, serves visitors looking to relax with a free beach, paintball fields, a wildlife park, and nature trails.
