Because it was originally a German immigrant settlement, it is completely German-style architecture, and now it still retains German-style houses, churches, shops and schools, selling a lot of German antiques, textiles and food. Isn't Handorf like a person's name? He was indeed a man, the chief who had originally brought the Germans here, and the town was named after him. The town of Handorf had a strong commercial atmosphere, with shops on both sides of the main road and many tourists, but not noisy. We found a quiet tree in the village and had a sunny lunch in the company of the cat.
