A village (almost) Finnish Hungarian province

Geresdlak has only 900 inhabitants, but seventy are from Finland. That's why there were those who had decided to learn the language and culture of the outsiders.

The economy of the village flourishes, both in the real estate sector, as in tourism. At least 24 houses were purchased by the Norse, dwellings used by 2 to 3 families per year.

Tibor Habjánecz, President of the Chamber, stated that "most visitors already speaks some Hungarian, and that's why it was almost mandatory to learn Finnish," says the Mayor, who also attends the course.

Juuti family bought a House here for 3 years. And why? "We love it, exactly. We love people, they are so nice and helpful. We have a lot of friends here, "said Satu Juuti.

And if one day you're in Hungary and he wants a good sauna the best Nordic style, you know, can go to Geresdlak.

"The name of this road is already written in two languages. Despite the Hungarian and Finnish derive from the same language family, are very different and there are few people in Hungary who know well the Finnish. That is why the history of this village is so special, "concludes the Euronews correspondent, Andrea Hajagos.
