HUNGARY - Municipality of Alsótold

https://www.alsotold.hu/


Our history    

Alsótold is located in the northern part of the country, in Nógrád County. The small settlement is located in the heart of Cserhát, which is part of the Northern Central Mountains, in a small valley, in the Toldi basin. Like the neighboring Cserhátszentiváni and Garábi basins, the basin was created after the fragmentation of the Cserhát andesite blankets at the end of the Pliocene (5.3-2.5 million years ago). The natural and geographical environment of the village is determined by the specific characteristics of the mountains. It is surrounded by pastures, land suitable for agricultural cultivation, and forests rich in wildlife. The latter are mostly made up of cherry-oak forests, interspersed with smaller patches of pine, juniper and acacia.

The village is crossed by the Szuha stream, which originates north of Garáb, on the south side of the Zsúnyi mountain. For this reason, it is calledZsúnyi streamuntil Cserhátszentiván. Most maps show it that way.

It is also worth mentioning the National Blue Tour line, whose tour number 19, the Becske-Mátraverebély section, also passes through Alsótold, as well as the Kelet-Cserhát Landscape Protection District, whose border runs along the edge of the village.
