The mystical water reservoir of Gellért Hill can be visited again – PHOTOS

On the occasion of World Water Day, one of the water reservoirs on Gellért Hill will soon be open to visitors again. Offering a mystical atmosphere, this water reservoir resembles the setting of the Lord of the Rings or other sci-fi movies. Have a look at the photos of this futuristic-looking place!

The József Gruber water reservoir is open to visitors again

The water reservoir, which is closed on other days of the year, is the first to welcome school groups on 21 and 22 March between 9 AM and 2 PM.

There is great interest in the water reservoir

It is worth following the page of Főváros Vízművek because, based on the 155 comments under the post, it seems that there is great interest in the impressive landmark. To the question of one of the commenters, whether it would be possible to organise the event several times in view of the high demand, Fővárosi Vízművek answered: “Unfortunately, since it is a functioning water storage facility that is decisive in the city’s water supply, we do not have the opportunity to open it more often. Even so, we have already added a few extra days compared to the previous occasion.”
