Tászok hill top

The Taszok ridge is rising at about 14 to 15 kilometers on north to the Ditró village. The 1313 meter high plateau is accessible through the Halaság brook, climbing on the forest path on the left side of the road to Borszek. At the beginning of the last century, eight stone blocks with runic script were found on the Taszok hill top. The first description about them comes from the high-school teacher Kemenes Antal in 1913. Over the past hundred years, there were found a few more runic scripted stones. The inscriptions were studied by more people, but even though the symbol system is very identical to those of the sekler runic writing, their period, origins and meanings are still unknown. The inscribed stone blocks were saved from the vicissitudes of the XX. Century and placed in Tarisznyás Marton Museum from Gyergyószentmiklós, as many of the stones were destroyed, lost, damaged. However, a few of the stones remained on the mountain and can still be found there today. The number of stones is not clearly described in the reports. It is certain that over the years lots of them were taken away. However, the seklers still live in the belief that the Taszok hill top was the cultic place of our ancestors. Engraved rocks of Tászok:
