Thevillage of Turya Remety, Perechyn district, Zakarpattia region, lies in the Turya Valley, at the place where the mountain rivers Turya and Turytsia merge. All of these names are based on the tur, an animal found in the Carpathian forests. As for the second part of the village's name, "Remety," legend has it that it was once the name of monks who had their own secret underground passages through Mount Magura.
Legend has it that it was in these very places that the Hungarian king Sholomon (Shalamon) (reigned 1063-1074), the son of king András (Endre) I and Anastasia Yaroslavna, the daughter of Kyivan prince Yaroslav the Wise, lived out his life as a hermit.
The first written mention of the village dates back to 1451.
Turyi Remety is known primarily for its frog legs and for the fact that the postman Fedir Fekete lived here, and the world's first postman monument was erected to him. But first things first.
The monument to the postman was erected in 1838 on the wall of the Orthodox Church of St. Michael (1616, reconstructed in 1990) in the form of a bas-relief.
