| :::::::::Tokaj Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Tokaj Tokaj wojsyl Tokaj is a small town in north-eastern Hungary, worldwide famous for its white wines. Among all the cities of the world only 137 settlements are considered to be an International City of the Grape and Wine, and Tokaj is one of them. And one can hardly find a person, who has never heard of probably the best known of wines, Tokaji Aszu ('old Tokai'). The former volcano Tokaj Mountain (height: 514 metres) or, using its more familiar name Kopasz ('bald') Mountain, is the birthplace of the world-famous aszu; the long and sunny days nurture the grape and the noble rot of the cellars of Tokaj educates it. The Hungarian national anthem mentions the wine steeped vine-shoots of Tokaj, the town at the intersection of the rivers Tisza and Bodrog. Monarchs and famous men have lavished superlatives on the old Tokaji, among them Louis the 14th, the Sun King, Peter the Great, tsarina Catharine the 2nd, Friedrich the 2nd, Beethoven, Voltaire, Goethe and Schubert. Among the owners of the town were the first Magyar settlers, the members of the family Hunyadi (the family of the great Renaissance monarch Mathias Rex), Janos Szapolyai, who became a king here and the Rakoczi family, who are for ever remembered for their struggles for liberty. Historical sources mention the name for the first time in 1074. The flora and fauna near Tokaj mix the elements of mountain and plain. Forests, abundant in strictly protected rare species, cover the hillside of Kopasz Mountain. Those who are fond of undisturbed nature and bird life can enjoy rare moments if they visit the neighbouring Tokaj-Bodrogzug Protected Nature Zone , known as the "land of marshy tracts". For fans of angling and water, this active part of the Tisza is a Paradise. The same goes for the river Bodrog, which is low and with a very gradual fall. It has especially beautiful scenery with beautiful old trees alongside. This river has not been regulated by barrage yet. Pinewoods, beeches and oak-forests cover the neighbouring hills and, at their feet, vine-roots ripen the grape. The fame and hospitality of Tokaj are centuries old. But its inhabitants continue to want their visitors to have an unforgettable experience. They await those who are longing to leave the noisy cities, who like good wine and the cordial atmosphere of provincial towns, the clear-watered rivers, the wonders of undisturbed nature and open-hearted people. source:www.cometohungary.com __________Sights Edit This Castle of Tokaj The role of the castle of Tokaj increased when the country broke into three parts (1514). The castle - situated in the coincidence of the three parts of the country - had an important role at the time of Transylvania-Royal Hungary and the Ottoman Turkish occupation ________Day Trips Edit This Tokaj Museum The Museum gives place to the grape and wine ethnographical exhibition. On the first floor we can find Beres Bela's collection of ecclesiastic history. On the ground floor there is room for temporary exhibitions, which were shops. There is a cellar under the building. There are Wine exhibitions in the second wing and stone regional historical objects in its yard. The beautiful building stands on the main square of Tokaj, which was a Greek commerce house and was bulit in 1790 by the Christmas family. Perhaps the most valuable exhibition is Beres Bela's collection of church religious art among the permanent exhibitions. Beres Bela, dean-parson of Tokaj, offered his collection to the museum in 1981. The exhibition introducing the past of the wine-growing and winemaking of Foothills and its wine commercial development on the loft. The real sight of the loft is the chimneys. The visitor can see the exhibited objects (collection of different types of grapes, agricultural tools, labels, souvenirs of vintages, padlocks of cellars etc.) and documents (given privilige-, and protection letters). The bigger objects; the cart which transported wines, the production of cooperage; got place between the chimneys. Here people can get to know everything which is in connection with wine-growing, the process of winemaking till the storing in cellars. There is a cellar system under the building according to the traditions of Foothills. The cellar is a separate world. It has romance and spirit. Mikszath was right when he said: "The world under the ground is to have the overground forgotten." These cellars are more hundred years old and this is the reason why it has special atmosphere. The bottles, used for storing, indicates the special way of 'the wine of king's' storage. In the branches we can see the casks and the bottled wines of the most famous winemaker companies can be found in one of the branches. The Tokaji Oremus, Tokaji Hetszolo, Chateau Pajzos and Megyer, Count Degenfeld Winery, Sajgo Winery, Royal Tokaj Wine Co., Tokaj Commercial House, Tokaj Disznoko introduce their products here.
