Ungern, Europa

The Hungarians with their culture stand a little bit far from other European nations. Their language, folklore and ancient traditions do not show any common features with any European peoples. The reason for this is the fact that the Hungarians are not from Europe. Perhaps it is not well-known that they migrated here from Asia several thousand kilometres away more than a thousand and hundred years ago.

The country has become the bastion of Western Europe and Christianty in the course of history. Thanks to its central position it has been under both western and eastern influence, but it has also managed to keep its unique culture.

If you visit Hungary now, you can see not only the elegant capital, but the charm of historic cities as well, the baroque inner cities which have not changed for even four centuries. Or it is also possible to have a good time in one of the several medicinal baths; here you can find an unusually great number of them measured even by Eurpean standards. Furthermore you can decide to visit Lake Balaton with its nicely warm water, which is the largest lake in Central Europe.

The typical Hungarian land, the puszta does not require any further introduction. The endless flat area, the home of the shepherds, and the Plain itself have an enchanting atmosphere. Golden corn fields full of poppies, old cottages with white coloured walls are here to be marvelled at. And if you happen to come here it is obvious to visit an inn to taste the world-famous gulash soup, the wine of Tokaj, or to listen to the well-known Hungarian folk music.

And the last thing to be said is that Hungarian hospitality has its fame. Not just we said it, but others. And those who keep contemplating whether to come here or not, are not on the right track…Adventures miss those who think too much.
