One of the characteristics of the folk architecture of Cserépfalu is the row of former cave dwellings on the side of Berezd. The mountain, built of easy-to-carve rhyolite tuff, proved to be very suitable for construction, so almost all the houses in the village were made of it. The steep walls of the abandoned quarries in Berezdalja provided a good opportunity to carve caves into the wall, sell the excavated stone and move into the cave with the poorest families in the village. These were obviously the landless celery. Folk mocking humor called this settlement Little America (Berezdalja, Kácsi út). His peculiar name was mocked by the Reformers, alluding to the fact that while the richer inhabitants of the village emigrated to America during the world economic crisis, the poor dug their flats into a tuff wall, reaching only “Little America”.

The cave dwellings were inhabited in rather miserable conditions until the 1970s. It is not possible to enter the cavities, but we cannot see too much of them anyway, but from above, the beautifully located cave dwellings offer a very exotic view from the study trail running at the edge of the hill.
