The village of Storkfő was located in the present Nivegy Valley, next to Balatoncsicsó, on a small asphalt road leading from the village, at a corner to the left in the forest, about 200 meters away, in the area of the present-day wild forest.

The village was first mentioned in a document in 1353. The village belonged to the poor of the Bespremi. Its inhabitants were hereditary barons and church nobles. In 1588 it was also a mine. It was last mentioned as a settlement in the Urbanium of 1604. It was completely destroyed during the Turkish era.

The ballet dancers had an old legend that if you don't sleep at midnight, you're taken away by a horse that's riding out of the church.

The environment is neglected, the walls are covered with vegetation, the soil is sedimentary.
