Előszállás
Skip Előszállás unless you have a specific reason to visit the Cistercian Mansion or the loess valley; half a day is enough, and it works best as a stop between Dunaföldvár and Nagykanizsa.
Előszállás is a small village in Fejér County with a baroque Cistercian Mansion (1765) and a protected loess valley. There is no train service, limited dining and accommodation, and the main road 61 passes through. Most travellers will find the sights too few for a dedicated trip.
