First, let’s take a look at the Castle of Füzér which is located in the Zemplén mountain range. You have to leave your elegant shoes at home and wear the tightest ones as you have to climb many stairs and get through forests to reach this medieval building. The castle was built in the 13th century.

It was even the secret place of the Holy Crown during the 1500s. The castle was renovated in the past years and was decorated to look like its visitors stepped back in time while entering the building.
