Extensive archaeological work since 2000 has confirmed that people lived in the Szalajka Valley as early as 40,000 years ago. The cave dwellers lived in the Istállós cave and even had contact with other tribes from the valley, some of which lived 500 kilometers away. People also lived in the idyllic valley during the Bronze Age, as evidenced by Celtic relics and an early earthwork. Nevertheless, there were no major settlements within the valley until the Middle Ages, as trade routes were difficult to establish in the heavily forested area. Permanent settlement in the Szalajka Valley began in the 14th century, when people settled in the village of Wárad, now known as Szilvásvárad. The high-quality timber served as a source of urban income even in the Middle Ages, attracting increasing numbers of people to settle there. Later, potash was also extracted from the valley, which ultimately gave the area its current name. Potash means "sal alcali" in Latin, and these words have been incorporated into the Hungarian language. Until the 20th century, the valley was only known regionally. With the construction of the Szilvásvárad narrow-gauge railway, the first tourists arrived to travel to the valley by train. Since the 21st century, however, the Szalajka Valley has become a purely tourist destination, with forestry operations remaining minimal.

Many places and monuments that you come across along the way are a testimony to the horror of war and tyranny that is still significant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, and this is the case for every generation: -1- To commemorate and remember the victims -2- To remind us of the need to keep the peace

「このように、20世紀を振り返って、私たちは次のように言うことができます。前半は、二度の世界大戦という人類のカタストロフィーと、ドイツから始まり、ヨーロッパ全土に広がり、ホロコーストでその恐ろしい頂点に達したファシズムの夜によって特徴づけられました」と、長年連邦外務大臣を務めたハンス＝ディートリヒ・ゲンシャー（1927年～2016年）は、2006年9月20日にチューリッヒでの演説で述べました。数多くある戦争記念碑／戦没者慰霊碑は、戦争と暴力による犠牲者を追悼する任務に加えて、平和を維持するための絶え間ない警告という重要な役割を担っています。

Quite empty on early mornings, quite busy on the afternoons and evenings. No real and regular cleaning, so expect leaves, snow, branches etc on the track.
