HU - Tokaj

Our last stop... Tokay.

"The cultural landscape of Tokaj graphically demonstrates the long tradition of wine production in this region of low hills and river valleys. The intricate pattern of vineyards, farms, villages and small towns, with their historic networks of deep wine cellars, illustrates every facet of the production of the famous Tokaj wines, the quality and management of which have been strictly regulated for nearly three centuries." http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1063

 Maybe it looks a bit like my birth region :) Vineyards, Storks, River and soft hills.


 The sleepy village. Empty of any locals or tourists. Signs were indicating wine tasting here and there and only wild cherry trees were waiting for us.



 The way uphill in the midst of the graves - lovely. It had just rained and the wild herbs were bending over rain drops. I loved this place, so peaceful.

View from the "top". At some point we stopped because the path disappeared in the trees and it was too muddy for us to walk further...
