Hosszúhetény
(Croatian: Hetinj, Etinj, Hetin, Jetin, German: Hetting, Heting, Langheting) is
one of the most populous village in Baranya county, southwest Hungary, a
significant centre of village tourism.
It is
located 18 kilometres northeast to Pécs, the county capital, in a valley
between the feet of Zengő, the highest peak of the Mecsek mountains and the
peak called Hármashegy.
It has a
population of 3424 (as of Jan 1, 2010) and an area of 45.27 km2 (17 sq mi) the
valley has been inhabited since the Stone Age. Two other nearby villages belong
to the administration of Hosszúhetény: Püspökszentlászló and Kisújbánya.
Located in
an environmentally protected area, a special microclimate producing rare flower
species like Paeonia officinalis ssp, among picturesque mountains, the three
villages are popular among tourists who arrive from all parts of Hungary and
abroad. One of the main sites is the arboretum of the episcopal castle in
Püspökszentlászló. Tourism gives an increasing portion of the villagers'
revenues after the decline of coal mining which flourished in the region
between the 1950s and 1990.
The village
of Hosszúhetény has been interested by the Hungarian folk movement "Gyöngyösbokréta"
in the 1930's. The village was really a very fine example of the Hungarian folk costumes, traditional
songs and dances of county Baranya in this time. And because of enthografic
researcher's work the village has been well known all over the country.
The folk
dances, songs and traditions are still living in Hosszúhetény thanks to the
help of the movement "Gyöngyösbokréta" and the researcher László
Lajtha's and his collector successors work. There are researchers and artist
such as János Berze Nagy, János Nemes,
Nándor Dallos, Bertalan Andrásfalvy, Ferenc
Várnai, János Kaszás and László Felföldi
who payed attention to the traditional cultural heritage of this district.
Their documents, pictures, movies, musical notes and studies take care to save
this heritage from the oblivion. Many thanks and honor to these researchers,
collectors who payed attention to these traditions and helped to save the
folklore heritage of their weekdays memorable days in the Zengő district.
