Kölcsey Ferenc sírja - Kölcsey Ferenc sírja

Everything is OK. Very interesting is the cemetery known for its naval headstones. She's fine.

Szatmárcseke is the town of Tisza on Tiszahát. The village is home to the most beautiful Calvinist cemetery in the country. Its specialty is due to nearly 600 boat-shaped carved headboards. Here is the tomb of Ferenc Kölcsey, the writer of the anthem. The origin of the headwinds is unclear, according to some opinions it is an ancient Finno-Ugrian folkloricism, others believe that at the time of a great flood there was only a boat to approach the cemetery and the shape of the headgear points to this. The cemetery is nicely cared for, I highly recommend visiting her! !

Unique place. Worth checking out.

From 1815 to 1838, one of the greatest figures of our literature lived here with more or less hiatuses. The Hymn was born here on January 22, 1823. The master's tomb still stands here today. One would think that the tomb of the genius was already a esteemed place of pilgrimage after his death. Unfortunately, this is not true! Wow, but how not! Until 1854, he rested in an unmarked tomb. I read that in 1840, 24 Austrian soldiers trampled his grave, looking in the coffin for documents proving insult. The power dreaded his name even after his death, he wanted to defile him. In 1847, Petőfi writes in the Travel Letters about Kölcsey's final resting place: “There is no stone statue at Halma, not even a head tree with his name written on it. But it is not needed either, because the heartbeat of the wanderer tells him who is buried there. The landscape is quiet: the noise of the cities, the big world does not sound so far. Around the grave of the big man, only the wind vibrates the thorn bushes, bees roar on the flowers of the thorn bushes, and far away, the Andalusian Tisza mutteres his song softly so as not to disturb the dream of the coffin. ” In 1938, the sacred poet found only rest, at which time a third was placed in the crypt of the 6-column classicist tomb, which stands at the “top” of the cemetery.

We came here from Túristvánd, we were curious about the resting place of the writer of our Hymn. It is also worth going because of the interesting head trees.

An impressive, spiritual and interesting place! In Szatmarczeke, on the border with Ukraine, we discover a cemetery with wooden ship graves. Each one has the inscription "ABFRA". This abbreviation means: In the hope of a happy resurrection. The shape of the boat comes from the fact that the dead here in the marshland had to be taken to the cemetery in a boat.

A touching place, among the dark wooden boat-headed trees with the white, stone tombs - the way there is also with the surrounding settlements and their built-in monuments. Arriving in the village, however, we could only rely on gps, it would be good to guide visitors here with several signs.
