Teresztenye
The tiny village of Teresztenye is hidden at the foot of the Aggtelek Mountains. The name of the village is of Slavic origin and means reed-bed. This name is no coincidence, since the nearby brook and the small lake in the village make the area rich in reed beds.
Above the village, on the hillside, stands a Reformed church, which is considered a monument with its unique wooden ceiling. Moreover, in the area of the village, you can find 11 caves, which, together with the caves of the Aggtelek Karst, have been listed as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Located not far from the Austrian border, Velem is considered one of the most beautiful villages at the feet of the Alps. The small village attracts a lot of tourists for its clean air. According to koszeginfo.com, the air here is beneficial for many respiratory diseases. You will not come across many cars in the village, making it the perfect destination for those who want to escape the noise of city life.
For those who prefer active recreation, the location of the village is particularly favourable, as it is situated at the foot of the Kőszeg Mountains. There are several forest trails nearby, which are well worth exploring for nature lovers.
