Join us for this adventure in the beautiful countryside of Hungary, the Őrség.
There’s a region of the Hungary countryside called the Őrség, which has a very unique feeling to it, very different from the usual countryside someone imagines here. This is the land of the Watchmen, which is the literal translation of the word: Őrség. It is a region full of hills and deep forests, home to artisans and an ideal destination for hikers. There is also something very unique to this region: The bell towers that have a distinct look and can be found everywhere here. However, these towers officially cannot be called as such as they occupy their very own page in the book of bell towers. For some region, they are referred to as “Harangláb”, which translates strangely into “Bells Feet”. That I find to be an incorrect name, as after careful observation you’ll realise the trait that connects them all is something that looks like a skirt. Hence I believe Bells with a skirt fit better for these objects. We took a day to explore the area and hunt down some of these Bell towers while also learning about the history and culture of the area.
Below a few of the Harangláb – Bells with skirt we found during our journey.
In this area you find many hidden spots which are part of the heritage with lakes, farms and protected areas.
