Mohács, Historical riverside town in Baranya County, Hungary

The settlement stretches along the western bank of the Danube River, with multiple churches dominating its skyline at an elevation of 82 meters.

The Battle of Mohács in 1526 changed Hungarian history when Ottoman forces defeated King Louis II's army, leading to 150 years of Turkish control.

The Busójárás carnival fills the streets with performers wearing wooden masks and sheepskin costumes, dancing around bonfires during the pre-Lenten season.

The town serves as a main stopping point for Danube River cruises, offering direct access to the nearby city of Pécs through regular bus connections.

The Historical Memorial Park displays military equipment, traditional clothing, and artifacts from both Hungarian and Turkish forces involved in the 1526 battle.
