Popular belief considers it Rákóczi's tree, assuming that the prince once rested under it.

Süttő got its name from the stream that flows into the Danube here, because in the old Hungarian language, smaller watercourses, streams and veins were called séd: the name Süttő was formed from the word séd's mouth, i.e. séd-tő. (The name of the stream used to be Bikol-séd, now Bikol-patak.)

The area of Lábatlan and Piszke, which merged with it in 1950, has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. It is located on the edge of West Gerecse, its northern part is loess and marl hills, where there are fields and vineyards. In its southern border, the limestone mountains covered by the Magas-Gerecse forest, Szágodó (343 m), Berzsek-hegy (397 m), Nagy-Emenékes (526 m) and finally the highest and most impressive, Nagy Pisznice (544 m) rise above the settlement.

The monument church used by the current reformers was first mentioned in a document in 1400. The monumental significance of the Gothic building with Árpád-era foundations is further enhanced by the medieval elements uncovered during the most recent renovation.

The settlement is famous for its wines, the white wine matured here rivaled the famous Neszmély in taste and flavor. After the destruction of the phylloxera, Lábatlan's vines were planted in a new place, but the cellars remained in their old place. At the beginning of the new millennium, wine production revived in this historic wine region. The Gerecsehát Hegyközség was founded with the cooperation of the winemakers.

A19. From the 19th century onwards, the craft of stone carving flourished based on the red marble from Pisznice and the red and white limestone quarries from Süttő. Portland cement production in Hungary began in a cement factory founded in 1868, based on the mineral wealth of the Berzsek mountain marl mine. Building material and cement production developed in connection with this culture, which has survived to this day, making the settlement one of the domestic strongholds of the industry in the 20th century.

Stúrovó (Párkány)

Párkány is a town located in Slovakia, opposite Esztergom, on the left bank of the Danube. Its wonderful natural environment and the charming atmosphere of the city make it attractive for tourists.

It was one of the bridgeheads of the limes at this place, which the sources refer to as Anavum.

The charter of the Garamszentbenedek Abbey from 1075 is the first medieval written record of Párkány, which mentions the place as Kakath. At that time, the crossing was inhabited by fishermen and ferrymen. In 1189, the Emperor of the German-Holy Roman Empire himself, Frederick Barbarossa, set up camp in Kakathon

Párkány is just as famous for the Simon-Júda-vásár in autumn as for the Mária Valéria bridge, as well as for the town's cozy pedestrian street and fountains. Every year, thousands of tourists visit Párkány by crossing the bridge, from where a beautiful panorama of the Danube opens up for hikers.
