Kistótfalu
The village of a few hundred is located at the northern feet of the Baranya Hills, surrounded by forest from the west and south.
The fact that the village is a cul-de-sac on the road, causes many hardships to locals, and the population has significantly decreased since the mid-20th century. Many workers commute to work to Pécs via train.
There is a blazed trail which offers a short trip from Kistótfalu to the Basilica of Máriagyűd.
