Őrség, the region

In the southwest corner of Vas County you can find this wonderful land with forests and meadows where guardians were settled during the Hungarian conquest. Its name derives from the word Őrség (in English: Guard or Watch post). This region is one of the wildest and most romantic corners of Hungary, living here is a special lifestyle. The silence and the fresh air, the cultural traditions and customs are reserved in an unchanged way, the goods of the self-supportive peasant farming attract the visitors.

The number of protected species of plants is above 100 in this area. The flowery hay-fields and watery fields, the hay-field orchards, extended forests, a lot of butterfly species and the big game provide an excellent opportunity to have a dip in the nature far away from the city bustle. The local conditions also make the region a very good mushroom gathering site.

The famously friendly local people will be more than happy to introduce you to the local grasses, trees, flowering plants and birds.
