- The UNESCO World Heritage site of the old village of Hollőkó is a traditional Hungarian folk village situated in the central north of the country. Its name means "Raven-Stone" in Hungarian, and references ravens from the nearby castle protecting the village women. Despite fires and invasions from both Mongols and Turks, the village has retained its traditional character, and is a fantastic example of what agricultural life in Hungary was like for centuries.

What a pretty village! Would love to visit. Can't see many people around...
It was fairly quiet when we were there, though I can imagine during the summer it gets pretty busy! Plenty of infrastructure around at any rate...
The title is misspelled. The ó and ő should be switched around. It’s Hollókő. It means raven’s rock. My mother is from this village.
Good info as usual ya intruder :p (without getting tooooo technical). Can't believe how many times I've heard the word Ottoman in the last 6 months....still don't really understand what/who/where/when it is lol #awkward
Jordan Bryant the ottoman empire was the name of the turkish empire :-)
Thanks Jordan! Yep, as Klaus said the Ottoman Empire was essentially the pre-cursor to modern Turkey. It lasted from the 1290s right through until the end of World War 1 :)
Jordan, yuck. Need to figure out how to change that lol
