Tips

  • The so-called “Passing Hole” is one of the attractions of Ságvár. Its origins are not mentioned in written historical records before 1864, and its history is based primarily on local oral tradition.The Passing Hole is a continuously shortening tunnel located in Landor Mountain. In historical records, after the 1920s, mentioned as Lyukas Hill, (hill with a hole), but this title is certainly not given by locals because they never used these words in daily speech. (they used "lik, likas" (hole) forms instead) The word "hill" was also not used, even the smallest hill was called "mountain".Those who have already visited the Passing Hole and walked up the narrow path between the loess walls could understand why it was important to carve down from the height of the mountain.In the 1950s, the story was told by 90-year-old Stvan Kasa as he heard it in his childhood about its origins.As the story goes, there was a Reformed Church pastor's vineyard on the other side of the mountain, so it was his idea to provide easy access to his vineyard by digging a tunnel. One year there was a good grape harvest, so he placed a large barrel of wine on both sides of the mountain so that whoever dug the tunnel could drink wine. So the Passing Hole Fort has completed, the day is of course the altitude is still slowly decreasing. At one point it was so high that even a horse-drawn cart could drive through. For today, of course, it's uploaded so it's easy to touch the ceiling. There is a bend in the middle which proves the two-sided digging.The storyteller named Andras Csicsvay-Vasas, as the origin of the idea, so the digging took place some time between 1800 and1832, when he was the pastor Sagvar.
