Nature
The Honti Gorge is a natural geological outcrop that exposes details from the period before the volcanism of the Börzsöny Mountains. The exposed strata contain fossils of corals, mussels and snails; mammoth bones have also been found there.
The natural area also includes the 30-kilometre stretch of river between Ipolyszög and Hont. It has been protected by the Duna-Ipoly National Park since 1997 and has been internationally recognised under the Ramsar Convention since 2001.
Culture
Today, the Tsitári Chapel houses a Lourdes grotto with votive plaques from people who have experienced healing. A second chapel was demolished at this site in 1948. The Tsitári Chapel and the Kutyika spring are located in a small garden shielded by trees and a row of thuja trees.
The Szondi Tunnel is probably associated with a path used by the inhabitants of Drégely Castle to pray at the Csitári Chapel. The Fájdalmas Szűzanya Chapel is connected with the site of Hont's former church and the cemetery surrounding it.
