The Göcsej

The Göcsej

The Göcsej is a ethnographical unit with around 70 municipalities in the west of Zalaegerszeg at the rivers Zala, Válicka and Kerka. A clayey and stoony densely wooded hilly landscape with plenty of brooks. Because of barren soil and impassable roads from autumn to spring the elements of the archaic economy have been preserved until this century.
