Military Homestead "Grün Hof" Huklyvyi

Military Homestead "Grün Hof" for 18 persons + 5 additional - 9 rooms is located in the village of Huklyvyi, in the north of Transcarpathia, in the very heart of the Borzhavskyi Ridge in the village of Huklyvyi, Volovets district. Once, 12 km from the homestead, there was an old Hungarian-Polish border.

During World War II, to defend against a possible attack by the Soviet army, the Hungarians built a grand defense system known as the "Arpad Line". Its length was estimated to be between 600 to 700 km, with a depth of about 70 km. The system included 4 defensive lines stretching from the modern Polish to the modern Romanian border. Our homestead is built on the remnants of a bunker from the Arpad Line, whose task was, in the event of a breakthrough by Soviet troops through the Beskid Pass, to blow up the railway bridge-viaduct of the Mukacheve – Lavochne section. Fortunately, the soldiers did not have to carry out this mission, and the bridge remained intact; it is now part of the main railway line in the southwestern direction.

We have partially restored the bunker and equipped it with a lobby bar and a library. Each of the 10 rooms in the homestead tells the story of one of the 6 Transcarpathian and 4 European defensive lines, and the walls reveal pages of Hungarian and Czech history in Transcarpathia. The homestead specializes in both a specific segment of "military tourism" and active recreation in general. The rooms are equipped with a private bathroom with a bathtub or shower, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a wardrobe, complete with towels and bed linen.

The Volovets railway station is located 5 km away, and Uzhhorod International Airport is 105 km away. Several ski slopes are located 20 km from the homestead.
