Kis-Balaton

The traditional farmhouse of Vörs is a very well-preserved example of folk architecture from the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries. Visitors can observe the traditionally used tools of reed and sedge cutters and fishermen as well as the life style of people living in wetlands. The first and most beautiful room of the house is the so called “clean room” which was not in everyday use, only in case of birth, illness, death or stay of guests. You can guess where the name of peasant house’s kitchen, “smoky kitchen” comes from: smoke lefts the “smoky kitchen” to the attic through a hole on the ceiling. Among fire dog and a spinning-wheel a number of already forgotten household goods can be seen in the pantry. The living room opening from the end of the court gives place to an exhibition about the water life of Lake Balaton Minor.
