Cheresig

Cheresig, known in Hungarian as Körösszeg, lies on the eastern edge of the Hungarian plain in the Bihar lands of the Crișana region. The Körös rivers spread across these lowlands from the hills to the west, leaving marshes and meadows suited to cattle and grain. The village's two names reflect the Hungarian and Romanian speakers who have lived in the area, and its position placed it between the Hungarian heartland and the Transylvanian hills.
