The beautiful view of the charming valley is well observable from the local lookout tower at the top of the hill. The Zala county once had an important role in the history of the Hungarian petroleum industry and oil was a decisive factor in the quick and booming development of these settlements at the end of 1930’s. Bázakerettye, now surrounded by dense forests, was the local center of oil extraction and heritage facilities of that period are still visible at several locations here, creating a special atmosphere of the place. Additionally, the village has a thermal bath with 3 outdoor pools, jacuzzi and pool for children as well as welcoming hotels and a high-quality restaurant.
