You had a look at the church of Zalavar and then you suddenly notice a road-sign towards a Cyril and Methodius Monument. Of course, you are as curious as Lars and I are, and you decide to follow the sign.

In the 9th century, Zalavar was called the settlement of Mosaburg/Moosburg with a Slavic prince Pribina as its ruler.
