As Mayor of Komárom town, I would like to thank the honourable opportunity, that our town could host the National Pálinka Tasting Event in 2018, and the participants had a chance to get to know a little bit our settlement as well.
Nowadays it is not only known for its fortress system, thermal water or the Hungarian Horseriding Theater, which is based in the town, but the name is also closely attached to the former military town, Brigetio. Further on Komárom is a town along both sides of the Danube, situated in two countries, which belongs together, despite of the stormy historical part. Its inhabitants are not only connected through numerous economical and cultural ties, but also friendship, love and mutual respect. The town has great tradition in the distillation of pálinka, which means nothing less, than the Pálinka of Komárom can be offered to those, who arrive to the town.
It was a great pleasure for us to host the three-day event within the walls of the Monostor Fortress, setting up an ideal place for the pálinka judges to
assess the very finest samples, made by the best masters of pálinka distillers.
In the name of myself and my collaborating colleagues, I hope, that the few days spent at our place, added enough experience to our guests to come back at a later time, and for the others it raised the interest in our town to visit us.
I wish, that we shall greet many of you in one of the most dynamically developing little towns of our country, in Komárom!

Mayor of Komárom
