| Hungary |
Hungary is a country with lots of unspoilt nature,
traditions and hospitable people. In combination with its very pleasant
climate and a favourable price level, life in Hungary comes highly recommended.
Its brimming heart is the charming capital of Budapest. This 'Pearl of the
Danube' is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is a good destination for a
city break or an excursion.
Would you like to explore some culture and nature? Be active of prefer to
relax? It's all possible in Hungary! Here you will find pusztas, hill and
mountain ranges, 4 national parks and no less than 11,000 km of marked walking
routes. Culture dating back 1100 years has left behind monuments from the
Roman and Ottoman Empires (such as the Turkish bath houses).
Hungary is a true health resort destination offering an enormous amount
of healing warm-water springs. No less than 300 thermal baths can be found
scattered around the country. The warm-water lake of Héviz is very special.
This sulphurous lake is covered with water lilies and has a healing quality,
and its warm water (32deg; C) and its steam makes it very suitable for swimming,
even in winter!
Lake Balaton, Central Europe's largest lake, is a wonderful place to relax
or to do water sports. Siófok is the best-known town of the various popular
places around the lake. Less touristy lakes are Lake Tisza (east of Budapest)
and Lake Velence (between Budapest and Lake Balaton). The famous pusztas
of the east are home to much culture and history, and there are many beautiful
palaces and castles.
Do enjoy the local Hungarian wines (the most famous wines are the Bull's
Blood wine from Eger and the historic Tokaji wine. Hungary has some 22 different
wine regions and wine festivals are held regularly. |
