New running path in the biggest cemetery of Hungary?

Following international tendencies, the Institution of National Heritage (NÖRI) marks a new running path (running circle) in the territory of Fiumei úti sírkert (Fiumei Road Graveyard/Kerepesi Cemetery) – which is the biggest cemetery of the country in Budapest. One of the reasons is that they want to connect the cemetery to the pulse of the city.

According to Hvg, there is a great need for a green area in the heart of Budapest, where people can do sports and have some rest – take a look at the Kerepesi Cemetery as you have never seen it before. Those who would like to do some exercise are going to be helped by the running path and information signs, announced NÖRI in MTI’s (news agency of the state) report. 

The cemetery covers a 56-hectare territory that is also known for its flora and fauna. According to the report of NÖRI, many visitors are not there for funerary purposes, but to have some rest in the natural environment surrounded by trees and parks or to do some exercise. Similarly to other metropolises’ cemeteries, there are regular runners in the Graveyard of Fiumei Road as well.
