Vineyards, orchards and protected areas

On the western and northwestern outskirts of Damak, vineyards and orchards lie on the slopes. The local winemaking tradition dates back several centuries. Damak thus combines a long history of winemaking with agricultural use of the slopes. For your travel plans, this is a specific indication of the character of the place, while the question of accommodation is answered separately by considering a particular location within Damak.

A significant part of the municipality is designated as a landscape protection area. In addition, an ecological corridor zone extends into the surroundings of the Damaki-patak and the woodland areas belonging to the Cserehát outside the settlement. The landscape protection area covers a significant part of the municipality; the corridor zone, by contrast, encompasses more precisely defined areas: the surroundings of the stream and the outer woodland areas. If you are getting a sense of Damak through its landscape, winemaking, land protection and the corridor areas offer different points of reference.

Accommodation in Sáppuszta

The Sáppusztai Pálinka és Wellness Panzió is located in Sáppuszta, on the eastern outskirts of Damak. The location detail is important for orientation: Sáppuszta lies east of the settlement, outside it. The rooms have private bathrooms. The garden offers guests a partially covered seating area with barbecue grills and a bread oven.

When choosing, location and amenities answer different questions: Does the location on the eastern outskirts suit your plans, and are a private bathroom in the room and a partially covered seating area in the garden relevant to you? Check current availability before booking.

Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén: further regional perspectives

In the wider destination of Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén, a further regional perspective complements the local winemaking theme. The Tokaj Wine Region is legally protected; its climate, soil quality and slope exposure are suitable for growing grapes. This is different in scope from Damak’s local winemaking tradition, which dates back several centuries: here, the focus is on the history of the place, while there it is on the protected status of a named wine region. When choosing a theme, it is worth distinguishing between local tradition and the regional wine landscape.

In Sárospatak, beneath the park of Rákóczi Castle, there is a cellar complex about 2,000 metres long with two wine-tasting rooms. It adds an underground complex with specific spatial features to the regional wine perspective.

Another facet of the wider destination is the Baradla-Domica cave system, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Caves of the Aggtelek Karst and Slovak Karst. The short Aggtelek Cave Tour is one kilometre long, takes 60 minutes and is classified as easy. For choosing a theme in the county, it offers a contrast to winemaking and cellar complexes: a cave tour with a stated length, duration and difficulty level.
