Kemence
Kemence is an 850 year old settlement at the northern feet of the Börzsöny. From the main street, one can still see the so called "long houses", typical of the former Northern Hungary (now part of Slovakia). A nice example is the local museum at 244 Fı Street, while another prominent building is the County Hall of Hont (now a school), which was built in 1751 in Baroque style. The building served its original purpose from 1752 to 1806. In 1858 it was modified in Romantic style.
The village church and the vicarage were also constructed in the second half of the 18th century. A statue of St. John of Nepomuk, Patron Saint of Travelers was erected around the same time. Between 1910 and 1912 the Calvary and the Holy Shrine were completed, both can be found on the slope of the vineyard. Visitors can admire the beautiful view of the village, Slovakia and the summits of Börzsöny. Following the footpath departing from the village, hikers can organize day trips or longer ones, if desired.
Accommodation
In the village, along Nagy-Völgyi Street, many different types of accommodation can be found: Kırózsa Guest House, Bence Inn, Szalamandra Camping, a youth camp with bungalows, Fekete-Völgyi Guest House (the former VILATI Holiday Home) and the Matthias Equestrian Guest House.
There is a swimming pool in Nagy-Völgy and also a ski-track and a ski-lift. The cleanness of the air and picturesque scenery awaits all visitors.
Part of the narrow-gauge railway of the Csarna Valley has recently been restored. At the moment a 4 km long part operates connecting the village and the Fekete-Völgyi Guest House.
