Part of Hungary covered in thick snow: here is what to expect

Thick snow blankets various northern regions of Hungary, particularly the Zemplén Mountains. We present you with some captivating snapshots of why you should explore these towns and villages if you seek an authentic winter experience in Hungary.

According to idokep.hu, thick snow covers several settlements in Northeastern Hungary’s Zemplén Mountains. The thickness of the white frozen precipitation reaches 13 centimetres in some places. Hungary transforms into a real winter wonderland in these areas, providing an ideal setting for building snowmen or snowcastles or engaging in a spirited snowball fight.

Moreover, in Bózsva, the thick snow has already reached 20 centimetres, quite possibly setting a current record in Hungary.  Snow is present only in a few places, mostly in the high terrains of Börzsöny, Cserhát, Mátra, Bükk and the Zemplén Mountains. However, we hope there is more to come in December since snow has become a rare spectacle in the lower regions in Hungary.
