Miklenda of Kolut Testifies about Bodrog

Kolut1717

A major clue to the lost town comes from a man born in Kolut who spoke to a commission in 1717.

Read the full legend

The witness’s origin matters in the Bodrog story. Miklenda, about ninety years old and born in Kolut, described the Danube remnants of the old town to a commission. Kolut is therefore not merely the nearest map anchor but the home of the man whose memory joined an official document to a later legend.
