Walking
Forests, meadows, stream banks. The local trails are not demanding, but they keep you out for a long time — which is rather the point.
Visiting
Nobody ends up here by accident
Szentgyörgyvölgy is not a village you drive through. People come here looking for something: quiet, forest, long afternoons — and of those we have plenty.
Where exactly we are
Our village lies on the edge of the Őrség, in the western corner of Zala County, in the Lenti district. Both the Slovenian and the Austrian border are close by, so the tri-border region can comfortably be explored in a single day.
The classic Őrség experiences — pottery, pumpkin-seed oil, the scattered hamlets, the national park — are all within reach from here. For price and for peace, though, it is worth sleeping on the edge rather than in the middle.
There is plenty here for a long weekend, and for a week just enough that from the second day on you stop reaching for your phone.
