Nagyatád is a prominent town in southern Somogy County, widely recognized as the 'City of Parks, Statues, and Flowers' due to its lush public gardens and extensive collection of outdoor sculptures. The town's modern identity was shaped by the discovery of medicinal thermal water in 1906, which led to the establishment of its renowned thermal bath, housed in a grand Italian Renaissance-style building. The local water is exceptionally high in iodine and fluoride, making it a premier destination for treating rheumatic conditions and supporting post-surgical recovery. Historically, Nagyatád served as a significant military hub, and this heritage is preserved at the local Military History Museum and Technical Park, which details the history of the 69th Tank Regiment and various armored vehicles. On the outskirts of town lies the International Sculpture Park, a unique outdoor gallery featuring monumental wooden sculptures created by artists from across the globe. The town's economy is supported by healthcare services, thermal tourism, and a developing manufacturing sector. Surrounded by the wild forests of Inner Somogy and the scenic Rinya stream, Nagyatád also serves as a gateway for nature enthusiasts, hunters, and those seeking tranquility in one of Hungary's greenest urban environments.
