Geography[edit]

History[edit]
The area in the Mecsek mountains has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Archeological remains testify to the existence of prehistoric forest-dwellers, who subsisted through hunting and gathering. The first coherent ethnic group to enter the area were the Illyrians, who dwelt here in the late Iron Age, and were followed by Celts.
