Our heritage

Getting to know these elements brings you closer and closer to a more comprehensive view of Hungary and the local way of living. Even if you don't move meanwhile, it is already kind of a travel.

Hollókő in Nógrád County in Northern Hungary has been a UNESCO World Heritage site. This small village is sought out by tourists from all over the world, as this is currently the only Hungarian settlement whose residents still use the built environment as they did in the past century.
