Our town is the centre of Szigetköz Natural Park area situated North-East of the highway M1 (E60). 40 minutes’ drive from Vienna (Austria) and only 30 minutes from Bratislava (Slovakia). Mosonmagyaróvár is also called the „town of rivers”, because it is located on the riverside of the Moson-Danube, crossed by the Lajta river and other little millbranches. The historical downtown still guards the memory of the medieval castle and the town. Protected baroque buildings, narrow streets, moody wooden bridges make Mosonmagyaróvár picturesque. The town’s most important touristic attraction is its thermal water, which is an acknowledged medicinal water and ranks among the five of Europe’s most efficient medicinal waters. It contains chlorid and alkaline-hydrocarbon with a considerable amount of iodine and dissolved salt. Its medical water is used for curing locomotor disorders, chronic inflammatory diseases, as well as gastric and intestinal troubles.

Mosonmagyaróvár (German: Ungarisch-Altenburg; Latin: Ad Flexum) is a town in northwestern Hungary, county Győr-Moson-Sopron. The town lies close to the Austrian and Slovakian border and has a population of 30,200 inhabitants (as of 2004). Mosonmagyaróvár is a combination of the towns Magyaróvár and Moson (German: Wieselburg). The town of Moson was the original capital of Moson County in the Kingdom of Hungary, but the county seat was moved to Magyaróvár during the Middle Ages. The two towns were combined in 1939. Due to the rather complex pronunciation Mosonmagyaróvár is also referred to as Móvár amongst locals and Moson by foreigners. The Hansági Museum can be found in Mosonmagyaróvár.
Famous people of our town:
· Carl Flesch, born here
· Richard Hönigswald, born here
· Antal Pusztai, classical guitarist, born here
· Nikolaus Lenau, studied here (now Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences of University of West Hungary)
Dentistry appears to be by far the largest economical factor in Mosonmagyaróvár with approximately 150 clinics (surgeries) and 350 practicing dentists. Worldwide this is the highest number of dentists on the total population. The reason for this is found in the demand for low cost dentistry by Austrians, who have been crossing borders to Hungary for decades. With Vienna nearby, Mosonmagyaróvár is within easy reach and official Hungarian government figures show 160,000 Austrians cross the border yearly for dental care. Compared to economically wealthy countries where dental care is expensive, low business overheads in Hungary allow clinics to offer their services at extremely competitive rates. Especially for patients on a low income band or who are uninsured, dental tourism makes places like Mosonmagyaróvár interesting. Due to this a whole dental tourism service industry has grown in Mosonmagyaróvár, not only including dentists, clinics and guided tour providers, but also the local hospitality industry lives off the dental factor. With the nearby international airports Bratislava and Vienna, Mosonmagyaróvár even attracts patients world wide, travelling as far as from the U.S. or Canada.
