Hercegkút: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes
Accommodation in Hercegkút
Hercegkút has two cellar rows that are part of the World Heritage Site. The Gombos-hegy cellar row is described as the lesser-known of the two; a Way of the Cross leads from it to a chapel that also serves as a viewpoint. The cellar row is therefore particularly interesting for travellers who are interested in culture and historic townscapes.

Culture
The Gombos-hegy cellar row comprises almost 80 cellars with triangular gables, arranged in three rows and excavated in rhyolite tuff over approximately two centuries. The walking route from the Hercegkút post bus stop leads via Petőfi-Sándor Street and the Hegyalja-Malomkő nature trail. The nearest stop to the cellar row is the Hercegkút post bus stop; connections run from Sárospatak. The unusual cellar architecture is a tangible point of interest for travellers interested in historic architectural forms.
