Lonely Planet review for Vas Museum Village

The Vas Museum Village, on the western bank of the fishing lake northwest of the Szombathely city centre, is an open-air museum with some 40 18th- and 19th-century porták (farmhouses) moved from more than two dozen villages in the Őrség region. They're arranged around a semicircular street, as was usual on the western border. The most interesting of these are the Croatian, German and 'fenced' houses.

Nettles from a strange plant called kővirózsa (stone rose) growing on the thatch were used to pierce little girls' ears.
