Zselickisfalud is a village in Somogy county, Hungary, located approximately 12 km south of Kaposvár.

Its inhabitants, through hard work, cleared the area and made the soil fertile with small wooden houses.

In medieval times, Márcadópuszta existed within the village's territory, preserving the obligation to pay the March tithe in its name.

The Rákóczi War of Independence began in 1703, leading to the presence of Kuruc hussars on the southern shore of Lake Balaton in the fall, marking the onset of military activities in Somogy County.

In 1704, Austrians released Serbs onto the county to counter the Kurucs, resulting in severe devastation in the Zselic region.

Records on the history of the Zselickisfalud Reformed Church date back to the early 18th century when it had a designated preacher.

Traditionally, agriculture, forestry, and local industrial enterprises have been the main sources of employment, with many residents commuting to Kaposvár for work.

Despite the predominantly low-lying hills, the landscape often takes on a mountainous character due to its rugged terrain, steep valley slopes, and expansive forested areas.

[2] The geological composition of the hilly terrain is characterized by a covering of loess-like sediment, varying in thickness from 3 to 30 meters.

Compared to the surrounding hills of southern Transdanubia, the Zselic region receives more precipitation, with annual totals reaching or even exceeding 800 millimeters.

The precipitation pattern is characterized by a May–June maximum, followed by a second, autumnal rainy period indicative of Mediterranean climatic influences.

[2] Due to the rugged terrain and heavily dissected landscape, intensive agriculture and forestry have been historically limited in Zselickisfalud and its surroundings.

[3] A significant portion of the forests and meadows within the Zselickisfalud borders, totaling more than 1,600 hectares, falls under this protection area.

The conservation-oriented land use prioritizes the sustainable and harmonious coexistence of humans and their natural environment, favoring traditional, extensive farming practices.
