The southern outskirts are also crossed by the 26 109 side road leading from Perkupa to Szőlősardó, where the relatively distant Égervölgye Youth Camp associated with the village can be reached.

As with other villages in the vicinity, one can deduce the meaning of its name from the Old Slavic language, which translates to "willow."

A document from the year 1298 mentions a stream named vrbina, flowing from east to west in the valley towards Perkupa, originating from a spring at the base of Borház-tető.

The Roman Catholic inhabitants of the village built their church in honor of the Virgin Mary in 1952.
