Csaroda Attractions

A visit to the villages of Csaroda and Tákos, lying some 40km (25mi.) southeast of Kisvárda on Highway 41, should be high on the visitor's agenda. Csaroda still has its beautiful little 13th C Romanesque village church with 14th C. Gothic frescos together with 17th C paintings and wood-carvings. The little Reformed Church in Tákos is a beautiful example of the traditional method of construction using a framework of beams filled in with wattle and daub. Even further southeast lies Szatmárcseke, which is reached from Vásárosnamény by way of Jánd-Gulács-Tivadar-Kisar-Nagyvar, a total distance of about 30km (19mi.) along country roads. In Szatmárcseke there is still an old cemetery with wooden gravestones the like of which cannot be seen anywhere else in Hungary. The cemetery is under a preservation order.
