The water is drinkable, but contains impurities, which is why it has a distinct smell and taste. It contains natural CO2 and iron oxide, which oxidizes upon contact with air, hence the red color around the spring. The well is said to be about 50 meters deep. Interestingly, iron oxide was once used in painting and can be found in the surrounding church frescoes.

This windmill is located a little off the cycling route, but only 200 meters away. The windmill dates back to 1996 and is a replica of the Viennese mill from Kokolajnščak, retaining all its original features. In 1957, the mill was still grinding grain in Kokolajnščak near Bečevo. The rebuilt mill is a monument to the simple village cultural heritage in our part of Slovenia. Today, this mill is once again grinding flour, of course, only for tourism purposes. The milling machine with the millstones is powered by a windmill attached to the movable drive part of the mill, as it must always be facing the direction of the wind.

The largest portion of bograč, a traditional dish from Prekmurje, was cooked in Lendava on September 4, 2021, as officially confirmed by the Guinness Book of Records on Monday. The culinary team prepared 1,801 kilograms of the dish in a single cauldron. Six chefs and 20 helpers took 16 hours to prepare the dish, which typically consists of three types of meat, wine, and potatoes. The team consisted of professional chefs, members of the town and local communities, the local tourism authority, and firefighters. It took more than three hours to roast the 400 kilograms of onions. The world's largest portion of bograč also included four kilograms of garlic, 220 kilograms of beef, 160 kilograms of venison, 300 kilograms of pork, 400 kilograms of potatoes, 22 kilograms of spices, and 12 liters of local wine. Approximately 3,500 portions were distributed to visitors. The cauldron was borrowed from the municipality of Velika Polana, which produced the world's largest batch of sour beet stew in 2013, cooking 1,089.5 kilograms of the dish. Lendava was declared the world capital of bograč in 2011, and bograč is part of Slovenian tradition and gastronomic heritage.

In the heart of Lendava stands the striking building designed by the world-renowned Hungarian architect Imre Makovecz. The artist was a proponent of organic architecture, hence the frequent use of natural materials in his buildings. This organic construction method is also evident in the case of the Lendava Cultural Center. The theater and concert hall has 444 seats. The large stage and the hall's professional equipment allow for the hosting of various concerts, theater performances, operettas, and conference events. Various exhibitions are regularly presented in the building's foyer. The square in front of the building is adorned with a bust of the local sculptor György Zala. At the end of the year, Christmas and New Year's events provide entertainment on cold days, where everyone can find something to their liking. In addition to the varied entertainment program and festive atmosphere, mulled wine and Christmas delicacies await, while children will be entertained with a musical program, creative workshops, and the arrival of Santa Claus. One of the most mysterious events is certainly the torchlit hike on New Year's Eve, where an illuminated "snake" of hikers slowly winds its way through the town and snow-covered vineyards of Lendava in the magical torchlight.
