We had a trip to
North Hungary, among the hills of Cserhát for 4 days. Perhaps it was the last
beautiful autumn weekend. In the mornings
was cold and foggy the weather but in the
early afternoon it was 20 degrees and
clear blue sky already.
We walked for two days, and the other two days we went to
the countryside by car. Our
accommodation was a well-equipped, spacious apartment in
a little village called
Nográdsipek.
The owners were a very pleasant couple. On
Saturday, - after our arrival - we walked to
Hollókő. The path was 13 km long.
On the way we visited the castle as well.
Hollókő is a beautiful, world heritage
village, there are famous traditional costumes and typical palóc houses.
Many people walked on the streets in the fantastic
weather. We went back to our
accommodation by bus. We had to change to another
bus in Szécsény, so we had dinner
here.
On Sunday we looked up another hike on
the map to the Tábi reservoir. At first there
was a good marked trail , but the
signs disappeared later, so we
needed to navigate with a map and compass. Fortunately, we
found the lake in a beautiful valley.
Many people
were angling on the
shore.
We started back in another path , on the way we enjoyed the beautiful views and beautiful autumn colors. On Monday,
we travelled to Mátraverebély by car, here we visited the old holy place
Szentkút.
We met many pilgrims. The next stop was Sámsonfalva. we saw
an interesting geological
formation
and the
nearby beautifully situated, small village Nagybárkány. From here we drove to
Alsótold, to the Bableves csárda,
where we spent some time.
After we came back, our
hosts were waiting for us and we
grilled in the open air.
On Tuesday, we
stopped on the way home in
many small villages of Cserhát and we
looked around, and
then ordered a late lunch at the Lake Bánki.
It was a very nice
long weekend.
