[00:00:03] high society, the [00:00:14] The tussocks of filamentous leaves [00:00:17] of the leguminous, woolly sedge and the green [00:00:20] of the peat moss bloomed. [00:01:19] The many kinds of water were a true habitat for a multitude of waterfowl. [00:01:23] In the dense reeds and swampy places, [00:01:26] nested and bred. [00:02:24] Fishermen lived most closely with the waters, not [00:02:27] only understanding how to handle their tools, but also knowing well the [00:02:31] mysterious movements of fish and the thousand tricks [00:02:33] of the waters. Everyone fished, from [00:02:37] old men to women and children, but only for their own [00:02:40] needs. There was no market, and there were no buyers for fish [00:02:44] locally. [00:02:47] In times of scarcity and famine, the food provided by the water [00:02:50] was of great [00:02:51] importance. [00:03:52] The Beregcsákány region 150-200 years [00:03:55] ago was mostly covered by vast forests [00:03:59] of oak, Turkey oak, alder, and elm trees. [00:04:02] Wooden churches, bell towers, timber-framed [00:04:05] houses, and farm buildings were built from these. In addition, a [00:04:09] large part of the harvested timber was floated down the dense [00:04:12] waterways flowing into the Tisza to distant [00:04:14] regions. In place of the cleared forests, pastures [00:04:18] remained, where only a few trees evoke the former [00:04:22] vast [00:04:22] forest. [00:05:52] The laws of nature determined not only the fate and lives of people, but also [00:05:56] of houses. [00:06:36] Frequent floods compelled the people living here [00:06:39] to build their houses with timber frames and [00:06:42] mud-plastered wattle walls that withstood [00:06:45] the floods; only the mud plaster [00:06:48] had to be renewed, and the daubing had to be replaced. [00:06:52] The building materials of the houses were wood, reeds, [00:06:56] adobe, and straw. [00:06:57] volt. [00:07:05] However, adobe-walled houses in flood-prone areas were not [00:07:08] suitable; the water soaked them, destroying them. [00:07:45] The plastered white columns of the houses [00:07:47] were also built of adobe, and these were called stone feet. [00:08:43] The house with a wooden-pillared porch. The [00:08:46] porch pillars were either turned or carved. [00:09:05] At the end of the courtyard, framed by the dwelling and smaller farm buildings, in many places there is a large [00:09:09] barn-sized building. A barn [00:09:13] is located there, its original purpose [00:09:16] was to store harvested crops, and in bad weather [00:09:19] it also provided protection during threshing. Today, [00:09:22] fodder is primarily stored here, where barns [00:09:26] are common, there are few hay storage aboras. [00:09:42] The most characteristic hay storage building is the abora. [00:09:46] This simple but ingenious structure consists of [00:09:49] four abora pillars supporting a movable tent-like roof. [00:09:52] The roof is adjusted according to the height [00:09:56] of the stored hay. [00:11:04] Livestock farming has a long history in this region; in earlier [00:11:08] centuries it was much more significant than [00:11:11] agriculture. Free-range [00:11:14] farming was primarily customary. Livestock were only driven under [00:11:18] shelter [00:11:18] in winter. [00:12:12] The marshes often hidden among the trees evoke the ancient [00:12:15] aquatic [00:12:16] world. [00:12:50] The folk-style wooden church architecture based on medieval traditions [00:12:54] flourished in the second half of the 18th [00:12:57] century. Beautiful examples of this are the [00:13:00] churches and bell towers of Csaroda, Zsurk, [00:13:03] Kölcse, Vámosatya, and Nagyszekeres. [00:13:06] haranglábak. [00:13:14] Water-powered mills were built almost everywhere [00:13:18] there was flowing water. Under favorable conditions, several [00:13:21] were built within a small settlement, so there were two [00:13:25] in Túristvándi, but their number sometimes reached several times that. [00:13:47] Through repeated hardships, the appearance of the village also [00:13:51] changed. Traditional folk architecture [00:13:56] is disappearing; objects, tools, and buildings characteristic of the landscape [00:14:00] are being moved to open-air museums, [00:14:01] thus the centuries-old [00:14:05] tradition passes away and gives way to the new.

[00:18:44] The river, through diligent work, shaped this wonderful landscape [00:18:48] over millions of years. [00:19:02] The Danube Bend and the surrounding landscape were not always [00:19:05] like this. Many millions of years [00:19:07] ago, in the middle of the Tertiary period, volcanic activity began [00:19:11] to create what were then still continuous Visegrád and [00:19:15] Börzsöny mountains. [00:19:17] This activity raised the previously sunken terrain [00:19:21] and covered it with a volcanic [00:19:23] blanket. The mountains emerged as islands [00:19:26] from the Pannonian Sea covering our homeland. With the retreat [00:19:30] of the sea, the area gradually became dry. [00:19:34] The Danube, arriving in the Tata Basin, [00:19:37] first turned south, then as the southern part of the basin [00:19:41] rose, it turned east and found its way [00:19:44] through the present-day Visegrád gorge. [00:20:22] The river, emerging from the tight embrace of the mountains, [00:20:25] calmed down and deposited its sediment. This [00:20:29] is how it formed the Szentendre Island. In the sand quarries [00:20:32] still operating on the island today, the material transported here [00:20:36] by the Danube can be clearly observed. [00:21:01] Traces of the volcanic activity that built the mountains [00:21:04] can still be found on the walls of the existing quarries. [00:21:32] The river valley and the surrounding mountains were thus formed [00:21:35] by volcanic activity, and then, with its cessation, [00:21:38] by erosional forces, precipitation, and the river. [00:21:42] About one and a half million years ago, in parallel with [00:21:45] the breakthrough of the Danube, the Great Plain [00:21:48] sank, and the mountains surrounding the river [00:21:51] rose. [00:21:54] The Danube thus carved its bed deeper and deeper, [00:21:58] creating the characteristic terraces of the landscape. [00:22:10] These terraces were suitable for human settlement [00:22:14] since ancient times. After many other peoples, nearly [00:22:17] 200 years ago, they appeared in our country. [00:22:22] And beyond the Danube, they created a rich and flourishing province, Pannonia. [00:22:25] However, this valuable province also had to be [00:22:29] defended against repeated barbarian incursions. [00:22:32] Thus, a strong defense system [00:22:36] was established along the border of the empire. [00:22:39] The fortress system along the Danube was built from a chain of camps. [00:22:42] In addition to the camps on the right bank of the Danube, [00:22:45] a late Roman fortress was also built [00:22:49] in Visegrád, the Roman camp at Dobogókő. From its favorable [00:22:52] location, there was a clear view and good [00:22:55] surveillance possibilities over the entire Danube Bend. [00:23:09] Already in Roman times, due to the narrow river valley, agriculture [00:23:13] moved up the sides of the mountains. Here, on the terraces [00:23:16] created by the Danube, flourished viticulture and fruit growing. [00:24:15] At the western gate of the Danube Bend we find Esztergom, a [00:24:19] significant settlement of the region. The development [00:24:22] of the more than thousand-year-old city was greatly facilitated [00:24:25] by the fact that it lies at the entrance to the Danube Valley, [00:24:29] and as a river crossing point, it was an important [00:24:32] hub of trade routes. The [00:24:35] castle standing on the cliff above the river has been [00:24:38] inhabited since ancient times. Its strategic [00:24:41] importance was recognized by the Romans as well. After the [00:24:44] demise of the empire, it gained true significance [00:24:48] after the Hungarian Conquest. [00:24:51] Until the devastation by the Tatars, it was the seat [00:24:53] of the Hungarian kings. [00:24:56] The city's vibrant, bustling economic life elevated it above all our other [00:25:00] settlements. The presence of the royal court not [00:25:03] only stimulated trade, but also [00:25:06] fostered a flourishing craft industry. At this time, the city's [00:25:09] center was the royal castle [00:25:11] on Castle Hill. [00:26:05] The political and economic weight of the city was increased by the fact [00:26:08] that King Stephen and his successors established and promulgated the laws [00:26:12] of the country here. Its staple right, [00:26:15] and compulsory route, obliged merchants entering the country [00:26:19] to display their goods in the city's market. The [00:26:22] increasingly strengthening bourgeoisie gradually won [00:26:25] its self-government. With the weakening of royal power, the Church [00:26:29] acquired those privileges of the city [00:26:33] that had previously made it the richest city in the country, and [00:26:36] thus, until the appearance of the Turks, [00:26:39] it became an ecclesiastical center. After the [00:26:42] withdrawal of the Turks, the strengthening bourgeoisie's rights were regulated [00:26:46] by the charter of 1725. [00:26:50] The city itself deals with the affairs of its own citizens; [00:26:53] even in capital cases, the city also issues death sentences. [00:26:57] The citizens of the city, as members [00:27:00] of a free royal city, enjoy [00:27:02] privileges before all courts. Among the city's [00:27:06] privileges are a weekly market, [00:27:09] the exclusive right [00:27:12] to sell wine, brewing beer, a butcher's shop, [00:27:15] and keeping an inn. The [00:27:18] citizens of the city elect their own internal and external [00:27:21] councils, and all officials [00:27:23] of the city. [00:27:26] Until the turn of the century, Esztergom consisted of four settlements: [00:27:30] the royal and archiepiscopal city, the capitular [00:27:34] Water City, and the bourgeois city [00:27:37] encompassing the area around the present-day Széchenyi Square. [00:28:49] In Esztergom, as in other settlements along the Danube, a developed [00:28:53] water milling industry emerged, the memory of which is shown [00:28:56] by the Miller C book from the 1700s. [00:28:59] mutatja. [00:29:43] East of Esztergom, on the peak of the Visegrád mountain, [00:29:46] rises the most beautiful castle of the Danube Bend. Under [00:29:49] Matthias's reign, the beauty of Visegrád unfolded. [00:29:53] At this time, the Citadel and the Royal Palace were rebuilt. The [00:29:57] palace, built in terraces on the hillside, was made [00:30:00] by Italian artists.
