Rakaca 



















<<
Rakaca: The settlement is located close to the basin of the valley of the Rakaca stream, on the territory of the once Borsod-county. Rakaca inherited its Slavic name from a stream traversing the village, a stream that was land marked in the 1249 perambulation. By the first half of the 20th Century the settlement was a flourishing one: it had its own Greek-Catholic public school, general practitioner and post office. Today Rakaca is inhabited by a larger Gypsy population that is cut from the outside world, deprived of any chances for employment, hoping for outside help to improve their living conditions.
