Open-Air Ethnographic Museum - a monumental row of cellars commemorating the once flourishing vine, wine and fruit culture. "The small village of Alpokalja has become famous all over the country for its row of listed cellars. The eight thatched cellars and a cellar with a renovated thatched roof were built in the early 1800s, the oldest in 1778. The buildings are also wine cellars and press houses with a base beam, a harrow wall and a protruding roof structure, which were used to process grapes, to keep wine from one harvest to another, and to store fruit. On the hillside above the cellars, phylloxera destroyed the vines in the early 1890s. The vineyards were replanted in the far reaches of the mountain, but the old buildings were still used for processing. At harvest time, farmers transported the harvested grapes here by carts. The part above the cellars was used as a meadow, where wooded chestnut forests developed. The once large chestnut forest has shrunk to a small size today. Some cellars are equipped with viticultural equipment, with different types of grape presses.
The cellar row is open as an open-air museum from April 1 to October 31.
