In nowadays’ Europe, a region where handicrafts traditions are nursed – and not only as tourist attractions – is hard to find. In Pécs and South Transdanubia, there are hundreds of potters, wood carvers, leather workers, smiths, egg decorators, basket weavers, gingerbread makers and numerous other representatives of folk handicrafts living mostly in tiny villages, far away from the noise of the world. Here, we would like to introduce those welcoming visitors in their workshops with open doors in order to show them the secrets of the crafts that were passed on from father to son. If you truly wish to learn more about our region - you simply have got to meet them. Please feel free to praise their work carried out with professionalism, a sense of vocation and honour with a smile or a word of praise. Experience the effect of enriching our lives with a smile! And if you wish to take authentic souvenirs home with you, what better place could you think of buying them from than these tradition-conserving masters who you have met personally in their own homes? To learn more about these trips, please consult our database and map.
