Gyomaendrod was formed in 1982 through the merger of the independent towns of Gyoma and Endrod in Bekes County, located along the scenic banks of the Triple Koros River. The town is nationally famous as a center of printing excellence, home to the Kner Printing House established in 1882 by Izidor Kner. This institution revolutionized Hungarian book arts and typography, and its legacy is preserved in the Kner Printing Industry Museum, the only one of its kind in the country. The town's layout is defined by the winding river and its numerous oxbow lakes, such as Templom-zug and Sirato, which make Gyomaendrod a premier destination for anglers, birdwatchers, and eco-tourists. The Liget Thermal Bath and Spa is another key attraction, utilizing medicinal waters sourced from 600 meters underground to treat musculoskeletal disorders. Architectural highlights include the historic churches of both former towns and the impressive Koros bridges that unify the community. With its unique blend of industrial history, rural charm, and riverside recreation, Gyomaendrod serves as a tranquil getaway and an important cultural landmark in the Great Hungarian Plain.
