We also show Pákásztanya and its surroundings as well as the environment of the strokes. The geology section and two showcases introducing the topic of paleontology follow the pictures.

The history of Hungarians and other ethnic groups, Serbs, Romanians, Slovakians and Germans, living in symbiosis in Békés County began in 1715 when the reorganization of the county took place. In the second half of the 17th century, the county became unpopulated due to fights in the region. The lord Harruckern János György organized the settling of people to make the territory valuable again.
