Description

The most iconic landmark in the Tokaj wine region is undoubtedly the statue of the Blessing Christ, which crowns the hill above Tarcal, close to the mine lake with its breathtaking setting. In 2015, Hungary’s largest statue of Jesus was erected on the hilltop, which offers a magnificent panoramic view. The statue is made up of five enormous blocks of granite. It weighs 50 tonnes. A footpath has been laid out from Könyves Kálmán utca, complete with benches. The final section can be reached via a flight of steps or simply by following the path.
