Bük is a town in Vas County, Hungary very close to the Austrian border. Nowadays it has a reputation for being a very popular holiday destination in Hungary and one of the major spa and wellnes spots in Central Europe.
The town is situated 27 kilometers from Szombathely at the Répce-river plains.
The village is first mentioned in charters in 1271 with the name: Byk. The church was built in the 12th century, so the village is even older. In 1461 the name of the village is Poss. Vinchefalwa Byk. The name corresponds to the old Vinczlófalva-Bik, which is now called Felső-Bükk. In the 15th century there were three Bik villages (Alsó-Bük, Mankó-Bük and Felsö-Bük). The Büki Family was the landowner. Their descendants are the Mankóbüki Horváth, Mankóbüki Balogh and the Felsőbüki Nagy families. Pál Felsőbüki Nagy was a famous member of the Hungarian House of Representatives in the 19th century. Other notable landowners were the Counts Cseszneky who bought Alsóbük in the 16th century.

Well it's getting kind of cold
So I'll take the skyway home
I don't want to be alone
But you've given me no choice
I bet they had a great big laugh back home
When you told them what I've done
Oh I thought you were the one
Talk about the biggest lie
St. Paul is cynical
As I rattle off my problems
To no one listening
And I'm listening to Radio K
Drown my sorrows in the frequency
And I'm listening to Radio K
