The village of Csopak has a special atmosphere. The two reed-lined bays of the shore, the hillside vineyards dotted with old cellars, and the wooded peaks of Öreg Csákány-hegy (Old Hack hill) are characteristic of the place.

Local people here have always earned their living of viniculture, oenology and more recently, tourism.

Csopak boasts two church ruins dating from the Middle Ages. The tower of the former St Stephen’s church is a XIIIth century monument. The nef was struck by lightning at the end of the XIXth century leaving the tower as a witness for modern times.  The ruins of St Nicholas church – already mentioned in XIVth Century documents - nowadays house cultural events. The still operational Plul watermill is an interesting monument of the village. The water wheels of XIXth century mill were turned by the Nosztori creek and the mill grinded 200 metric centners of grain yearly.Another remarkable building is the neo-gothic/romantic style Ranolder Mansion, formerly home of bishop Ranolder dating from the late XIXth Century.

The “sour water” (carbonated mineral water) of Csopak is well known, the village has several mineral springs, such as Bodonkút (next to Route 73), Nagykút on the slopes of Öreghegy (Old Hill) and Nádaskút in Kerekedi-bay. The best known spring is St. Joseph Medicinal Spring. The ferriferous water is beneficial to asiderorsis.

Once in Csopak, it is worth climbing the Csákányhegy (317m – follow the blue hiking trail) on top of which stands a wooden lookout tower (Endrődi Sándor kilátó) from where there is magnificient view over the lake.
