Only under professional guidance!
The reed hut of Matula constructed next to the house, paying respect to the greatness of the writer of many popular novels, recalls the atmosphere of Tüskevár (the title of István Fekete's novel about Kis-Balaton). The memorial room and the hut can be visited under professional guidance, starting from the Kis-Balaton Visitor Centre, at guaranteed dates.
There are guided Tours only to the Diás Island and as a part of the Kis-Balaton Guided Tours:
The natural assets of the Kis-Balaton region of Balaton-felvidéki National Park can be discovered with a professional guide. The guided tour includes visiting the Matula Hut and the István Fekete Memorial Room.
