Zölderdő Pension & Restaurant

Are you tired? Would you like to take a rest and relax in a quiet place at a reasonable price? You are welcome in the Eastern-Mecsek landscape protection area in the most beautiful valley of the Mecsek Mountain. We recommend it especially for those who are looking for truly clear forest air, since the stream in the valley generates an extraordinary microclimate. From early May until the end of October we offer local venison and fish dishes in our restaurant. For groups (8-100 members) or for individual guests we propose different activities (organised on special request) in the area.
