If you would like to include a tasting in your stay, take this requirement into account before planning your other activities.
What story does the church tell?
The church’s history spans several distinct periods. As early as the 14th century, a church with a cemetery stood on the highest point of Felsőpáhok, on the site of today’s church. This site was destroyed during the Ottoman period. The church building visible today was built much later: it was erected in 1872 in honor of the Finding of the True Cross. The early church and cemetery, on the one hand, and the present-day building, on the other, can thus be understood as different chapters in the history of the village.
What makes Billegér distinctive as a landscape?
Billegér is a former garden land area north of the village that belonged to Felsőpáhok. In the past, the landscape was shaped by small plots of vineyards and orchards. Today it is mostly no longer cultivated; grapes and fruit are still grown only on a small part of it. Its former use and present condition therefore differ considerably: a landscape once shaped by small-scale cultivation has become mostly uncultivated garden land, while a small part continues to be used for growing grapes and fruit.
