A LETTER ABOUT HUNGARY TO TERRORISTAS

Unlike the title this is NOT only for Terroristas. Enjoy!

Hungary is a country at the heart of Europe, but it is certainly different too in so many ways!

While not large in terms of population (it has only 10 million inhabitants) Hungary has a wealth of culture and history, complemented by a language so completely different from its neighbours that almost no shared words exist! It can be said that ours is a land of great contrasts:

Hungary is situated in the low, flat area of the Carpathian Basin, with a gently undulating landscape of hills and plains, and it features one of the largest continuous grasslands in Europe. Perhaps equaling these sights, are the wonders awaiting intrepid adventurers in the depths below the country. The very same elemental forces that brought about its thermal springs, also created hundreds of kilometres of limestone caves through erosion, a portion of which are navigable with guides and an even smaller portion that have been fitted with paving and steps for organised tours.

WHAT TO SEE IN HUNGARY

HUNGARIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM



In 1802, Count Ferenc Széchényi donated his collections to the nation. The Hungarian National Museum developed with this donation as its base; one of the most important and richest collections of the Carpathian Basin’s history.

RÁKOSKERESZTÚR NEW PUBLIC CEMETERY PLOT 298., 300. AND 301.



The „cemetery memorial” to post-1945 Hungarian history, where the remains of politicians, soldiers, public figures, workers, students and farmers sentenced on false accusations in mock trials and executed after 1945 and 1956 are buried

ÓPUSZTASZER NATIONAL HISTORICAL MEMORIAL PARK



Hungarian historic tradition has it that the Hungarians of the Conquest held the first “legislative national assembly” here.

SAINT EGYED BENEDICTINE ABBEY RUINS



Tradition has it that Somogyvár was the camp site for Koppány, who revolted against King St. Stephen. Its significance increased after 1091, when King St. Ladislaus established the Saint Aegidius Monastery, which became an important religious centre in the 12th century.

REFORMED CHURCH - DEBRECEN
