Description
The hilly Őrség region in the southern part of Vas county belonged to the indago system protecting the western frontiers of the Hungarian tribal lands around the time of the so called Landtaking. Its special form of settlement called 'szer' – consisting of several haphazardly built homes and groups of farm buildings situated up to a few kilometers away from each other – complied with the historic role of this territory as well as its geographical features.
