Kisbárkány

Kisbárkány is a village in Nógrád County, Hungary with 153 inhabitants (2022). The village is located in a narrow valley between the wooded hills of the Cserhát. In the wide valley adjacent to Kisbárkány, at the end of a dead end road, lies Bedepuszta, a small hamlet used as event village for international events, like Sziget Detox/Sziget Retreat. The population is mostly Hungarian, but a Dutch businessman named Elroy Thümmler purchased 21 of the houses in Bedepuszta, leaving just 3 that he did not own.

In WWII, the Bede valley was the site of a battle between the Russian and German armies. A monument to the fallen Russians can be found in Bedepuszta.
