Description
It feels like time has stopped in the mountain village of Hollókő and its surroundings, where visitors will experience the unique rural architecture and lifestyle of the northern Hungarian countryside in the early Modern age. Guarded by a 13th century castle, the village is not simply an open-air ethnographical museum but a living centre for cultural heritage, recognised by UNESCO. The nearby Somoskő settlement is both famous for the unique volcanic rock formations in the hillside looming over the village and the 13th century castle on top of the hill.
Key archaeological/heritage attractions: medieval castles, Hollókő and Somoskő, Eger; UNESCO World Heritage listed village, Hollókő
