Sightseeing
edit- At the end of the village nearest to Dunaszeg, is the famous "Kálvária". Count Lázár Apponyi built it in Baroque style in 1738.
- Near the "Kálvária", there stands the monument of the victims of World War II. József Somogyi (famous sculptor) carved out.
- Near to Kálvária stands an old black aspen tree. It is 100 years old. Protected natural values. The diameter is ~550 cm.
- Because most of the villagers are Roman Catholic (c. 96%), there are two (so-called) búcsú, of the village's churches. In Ásvány there is a church named for St. Andrew. It is 136 m2 from the 14th century. In Ráró there is a church named for St. Roch which is from the 17th century.
