Babócsa Polgármesteri Hivatal

Babocsa is located in the South part of Somogy only five kilometers from the Croatian border. The area of the town belongs to Inner-Somogy, the Rinya creek reaches the flood area of the Drava here. The surroundings offer lavish natural sights to see, besides the Europe-wide outstanding meadow of narcissus laying on 12 hectares and covering the one-time turkish village, many wilde flowers color the scenery and the neighbouring forests are rich in game. These forests are frequently visited by hunters who might take their rest in a modern hunters' lodge. From the historical findings researchers came to the conclusions that there was life in the area of Babocsa in the Prehistoric, Cupper and Bronze Ages. During the excavations they found mammoth bones, relics of the Bronze Age, polished tools of the Stone Age, and relics and objects of the Arpad era. From among the Hungarian conquestors most likely Chief Bogat arrived here first and his people met first the Avars and Slavs living here.
