Kolozs

Kolozs is a town in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, in the Northern Great Plain region of eastern Hungary. Its location is at the convergence of rivers Bózsva and Tarca, approximately 130 kilometers southeast of Nyíregyháza. The area was inhabited since the Paleolithic period, as evidenced by archaeological finds.

The name "Kolozs" is considered to be of Slavic origin, with some theories suggesting it is related to the word 'colovar', meaning 'living on the river'. This is consistent with the town's position near the confluence of two rivers. As part of the historical Kingdom of Hungary, Kolozs was mentioned in written records as early as 1075, during the reign of King Stephen I.

Ecologically, the area is characterized by the presence of the Hortobágy National Park in the north, which contributes to the variety of wildlife found in and around Kolozs. Agro-tourism has developed in the region, catering to tourists interested in experiencing local gastronomy, folk traditions, and equestrian sports.

In terms of infrastructure, the town has a railway station, placing it within the network of Hungary's railway system. Road connections with regional centers are also available, facilitating transportation. Information about the local history and environment is reflected in the appearance of some architectural landmarks, such as the Protestant parish church and the village memorial.
