Damak: Vineyards and Protected Landscapes

Damak combines a winemaking tradition developed over centuries with a landscape of hillsides, vineyards, and protected areas.

Winemaking and Landscape in Damak

Vineyards whose tradition dates back several centuries lie in the western and northwestern parts of Damak. Vineyards and orchards are also found on hillsides in the western and northwestern outskirts. This places the local winemaking tradition in context both historically and in terms of the landscape areas described.

A substantial part of the municipality is designated as a protected landscape area. In addition, an ecological corridor zone within the ecological network touches the area around the Damaki-patak and the forest areas belonging to the Cserehát outside the settlement.

The two forms of protection describe different spatial aspects: the designation as a protected landscape area covers a substantial part of the municipality; the corridor zone concerns the mentioned stream and forest areas. Together with the hillsides in the west and northwest, these provide several specific points of reference for describing Damak’s landscape.

Finding Accommodation in Damak

Sáppusztai Pálinka és Wellness Panzió is located in Sáppuszta, an outlying area of Damak east of the settlement. Its location provides a clear point of reference for your search: the named accommodation is to the east, while the vineyards and orchards are in the western and northwestern outskirts.

The rooms at the panzió have private bathrooms. Guests can use a partly covered relaxation area in the garden, with garden grills and a bread oven. When comparing accommodation, you can take into account the private bathrooms in the panzió’s rooms, as well as the partly covered relaxation area in the garden with garden grills and a bread oven.
