„It is not enough to live, we have to live for something!” 

The village is situated at the bottom of the Nagykorsó hill, at the eastern side of the Szerencs-spring valley. When arriving from the direction of Encs when reaching the top on the gibárt serpentine, the visitors will find the stone sheeps that are the consequences of the previous works of volcanoes. Between these giant stones, a narrow road leads nto the hills.

The coat of arms of the village can remind us of the coat of arms of the most famous owner of the possession, Szelepcsényi György.

Stone sea, Doberdo

The stone sheeps are grazing in a territory that is 2,5-3 km long and 2-300 meters wide; this area got the name Doberdo from the men fighting in wars before. The ice ages created a surface forming called chopping: the waterthat got into the stones froze, and this ice created the large stone blocks.

The legend

Nowadays there is a new legend about the stones: there was a bell ringer in the townin the 1800’s named Fehér József, who left this story for his family.

This is how the new Roman catholic church was built. The inhabitants of the villge also recongnised that their pain was reduced when they sat on these stonesof Doberdo.
