Around 1970, the last Jewish family had the tombstones moved to the Jewish cemetery in Komárom. ; Sutyú Valley Sutyu-, Sutyús-valley is located in the eastern part of the village – this is the vineyard hill. In the village, grape pressing was called sutyulas – that is where Sutyú-valley got its name. ; Menyecske-valley is part of Sutyu-valley.

The monk then shouted that whoever does not become a Christian will burn in hell like a bush in a fire. Hence the name Pokol-hegy. ; Next to Tófenék was Kis-Madar: there used to be orchards and gardens here, and the market square was next to it.
