Diocese of Győr highlights Jobba fája as one of the county's seven natural wonders

First source report

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Diocese of Győr identified the Jobba tree as one of seven natural wonders in Győr County. Located in the Török-major area of Jobaháza, the pedunculate oak is a locally protected site.

The tree's designation follows a cataloging effort started in 2008 by the Vasárnapi Kisalföld weekly newspaper to identify the region's most notable natural features. Jobaháza itself is mentioned in documents as early as 1422. Local tradition links the village name to a figure named Jobba, who is described in various accounts as either the founder of the settlement or a resident whose improved housing led to the name.
