selejtezési

Selejtezési is a village in Hungary, located in the Bács-Kiskun county, in the southern part of the country. It is situated near the border with Serbia, in the region known as the Little Hungary. The village has a population of around 1,500 people, primarily engaged in agriculture and viticulture.

The history of Selejtezési dates back to the 18th century, when it was first mentioned in historical records. The name "Selejtezési" is derived from the Hungarian word "selejtezés," which means "destruction" or "ruin." This name was likely given due to the village's strategic location on the border, which made it a target for various invasions throughout history.

The village is known for its beautiful landscapes, including the Selejtezési Lake, which is a popular destination for fishing and water sports. The local economy is also supported by the production of wines from the nearby vineyards, which benefit from the warm climate of the region.

Selejtezési is part of the Szabadszállás municipality, which includes several other villages. The municipality is governed by a local council, with representatives elected by the residents. The village has a primary school, a cultural center, and a few local shops and services to meet the needs of its residents.

The village is also known for its annual cultural events, such as the Selejtezési Wine Festival, which attracts visitors from nearby towns and cities. These events help to promote the local culture and economy, and provide an opportunity for the residents to showcase their talents and traditions.

In recent years, Selejtezési has seen some development, with new housing and infrastructure projects aimed at improving the quality of life for its residents. However, like many rural communities in Hungary, it faces challenges such as population decline and the need to attract and retain young people. Despite these challenges, the village maintains a strong sense of community and continues to preserve its cultural heritage.
