Activities/Attractions: Hungary has a strong and distinctive culture. In its cities and towns you can find thermal spas with chess-playing bathers, hear the virtuoso performances of Gipsy musicians and the Hungarian language itself. In the hills and on the plains of the countryside, traditions are upheld, with frequent village days, festivals, concerts, folk art and dancing.

Most visitors to Hungary's Northern Uplands, where our guesthouse is located, visit the caves of the Aggtelek, a World Heritage Site. But they are also rewarded with abundant wildlife, thermal spas, wooded hillsides, ruined castles and four distinct seasons. This peaceful area is perfect for nature lovers, cycling trips and many other outdoor activities, including fishing, horse riding, caving, canoeing and back-country skiing.
