Meet the picturesque wine cellars of Gombos Hill, a new UNESCO World Heritage Site

The picturesque cellars of Gombos Hill with their characteristic triangle-shaped doors became a part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site as true masterpieces of folk architecture.

The wine cellars belong to the well-known Tokaj Wine Region and are located on the board of Hercegkút, a small Swabian village just 3 km away from Sárospatak, Csodálatos Magyarország writes.

The Tokaj Wine Region has been on the list of the UNESCO World Heritage Site as a cultural landscape since 2002.

They say that one wine cellar belongs to each house in Hercegkút. Swabians established the village in the 18th century, and they played a crucial role in the evolution of viticulture. There are many local winemakers in Hercegkút today who love to share their insights and their delicious products with interested visitors.

The North-Western edge of the village features Kőporosi Hill with over 80 cellars on three to four levels going up the hillside.
