The village has three parts( as the inhabitants say): Ószeg, Főszeg and Rimány. 90 people live at Rimány.
There are two summer camps at Ószeg. The Ádám Béri Balogh dancegroup( from Körmend) makes preparations for its summer performances here.
There are the church from the Árpád-age( XI-XIII. century) and the Szélesvizi Peatmoss field at Főszeg. The church is called after St. Andrew and the patronal festival is also connected to this day. The church was renovated in the year of the millenium that's why you can see the different characteristic architecture signs. The tower and the western facade was built in Romanesque style, the walls and the sancratory were built in Gothic style. There is the crypt under the floor of the sancratory. There are the 'shameful stone' next to the gate and the ossarium on the right side.
The Szélesvizi Peatmoss Field belongs to the Őrség National Park Directorate, it is a severly protected area. It was discovered by Tamás Pócs in 1958. There are several spices of moss in the area. It has very rich flora and fauna. There are 5-6000 kinds of living creatures on a square metre. It has a special micro-climate. The temperature is sometimes around zero degree Celsius in August.
