PHOTOS: A Hungarian gingerbread village has become known worldwide

In Geresdlak in Hungary, all the houses in the village were made of gingerbread.

Geresdlak, nestled in Baranya County, Hungary, has taken the world by storm with its enchanting gingerbread village. Every house in the village is meticulously crafted from gingerbread, creating a real fairytale world that anyone can visit.

The Gingerbread Village brings to life not only the houses of the inhabitants, but also the narrow streets of the village, the church, the shop and the school. It even features trees, fences and cows. Everything is positioned just as it is in reality.

The idea came from the head of Mrs Tímea Kettné Schmidt in 2007, and since then the village has been brought to life every year. The charming little village also requires a lot of ingredients, so the almost 200 buildings are made from 100 kg of flour, 50 kg of icing sugar, 10 litres of honey, 600 eggs, 20 packets of cinnamon, 10 kg of margarine and a kilo of baking soda.
