Municipality of Cserkút
Cserkút is a picturesque hamlet stretching along the foothills of Western Mecsek, in the close vicinity of Pécs. Embraced by Jakab Hill, its beautiful natural surroundings radiate peace and tranquility for the locals and visitors alike. Among the attractions of the village is the 13th-century Catholic church with a wood shingle roof built in Romanesque style. The Local History Collection can be found in the mayor’s office which is located in the building of the former school. The collection covers the material culture of the traditional rural, peasant lifestyle. One can find several farmhouses and craftsmen houses built from red sandstone preserved in their original form. There are several hiking trails from the village to Jakab Hill which is part of the Danube Drava National Park.
