For ecotourism lovers, the protected cellars of the Open-Air Ethnographic Museum on the outskirts of the village of Cák are an interesting attraction. The 8 cellars, which are protected as monuments, evoke the atmosphere of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Around them, a few 100-year-old chestnut trees remind them of the chestnut groves that once flourished. With their girders, pine-roofed, projecting roofs, these hipped-roofed buildings were not used to store wine, but mainly chestnuts and fruit. Most of the wine cellars, built in the early part of the last century, are single-cell, earth-roofed, thatched, pitched, or hipped-roofed. They are hipped at the front, with open gables and hipped at the back. Some cellars are equipped with a vineyard - wine-making tools, including side-screw, stone crusher and centre-screw grape presses.
