Vérteskozma - Vérteskozma

Gyönyörű, eldugott kis hely, ahol megàllt az idő

Árad a nyugalom, ahogy az ember végig andalog az utcácskán, a gyönyörű házak között.

Ma már a nyugalom szigete. Csodálatos település. Kiváló kirándulóhely a környék erdeivel együtt. Az ember szinte a XVIII. században találja magát.

Tiszta levegő, csönd, béke és nyugalom és nincs térerő. Csak GPS/Glonass/Galileo működik

Egy kis zsákfalu. Tiszta, nyugodt, csendes. A kirándulók paradicsoma lehet a környék. De kalkuláld bele, hogy nincs a környéken térerő.

Csákvár után hajtottunk jobbra egy kis erdei útra. Végig az erdők mellett haladva csodaltuk az őszi tájat, a növényzetet. Csodálatos látványt nyújtott a természet. A faluba behajtani csak ott lakóknak lehet, erre figyelmeztet a falu elején tábla. A zsákfalu bő 1 óra alatt végig setalhato. Gyönyörű 1800 és 1700-ban épült házakat láthatunk. A falu bal oldalán egy nagyon régi temető található, valamint egy templom. Erdemes felkeresni a falut és egy kellemes sétát tenni.

Super!

After reading that Vérteskozma was one of the most picturesque towns in Hungary, I decided to visit and see it with my own eyes. This town is only one street with between 60-80 houses. After arriving to the street, I got a bit disappointed because I didn’t see anything spectacular, but I anyway got off the car and walked. After observing the third, fourth house, it got my interest. All houses have similar structure, but each and every one of them have their own distinctive decoration. I walked and walked seeing all houses one by one until the last one. On my way back to the car I found a table with the town’s history. After the Ottoman occupation, Hungary was depopulated, while Germany was overpopulated. In 1744, József Eszterházy, a politician in the county, brought 59 German, catholic, farmer families from Bavaria. With time, apart from houses, they built their school and a church. They were also the first one in the country to grow potatoes. Due to the language and to the isolation, talking about distance, they built a tight-knit community and lived happily for around 200 years. In 1941 there was a census and apart from a handful of families, the whole town declared themselves German nationals and German speakers. Due to that, when the Germans occupy Hungary, they force them to military service. All men between 18 and 50 years of age were taken away from their town. Later on in December 1945, a mandate was approved to send back to Germany all people who declared themselves Germans in the last census. Next year in May, 68 families were taken out from Hungary; only 4 families stayed. Those were the only ones who didn’t declare themselves German. 318 people, out of which 181 were children, were expelled from the land where they were born. The trip back was 9 days and they were allowed to only take 20 kilos of food and 80 kilos of cloth per person, plus kitchen utensils. A community built in 200 years, their culture, their lifestyle, their social structure and their economy destroyed by politics and war. I stayed for an hour, but the town is considered a place for retreat, relaxation, connection with nature and digital detox. There was no signal in my mobile phone for around 5 km.
