PHOTOS, VIDEOS: The most beautiful and dangerous places in Hungary

Several mountainous regions of Hungary have become dangerous due to the heavy snowfall the last couple of days.

According to blikk.hu, the minor roads leading to Kékestető, Hungary’s highest peak (1014m) were closed yesterday to the public. The Magyar Közút (Hungarian Roads), responsible for maintaining the public roads in Hungary, said they decided so for the safety of the people.

They said the snow that fell in the higher regions of the mountain contained a great deal of water. As a result, they are heavy and cause tree falls, endangering everybody on the roads. Furthermore, based on the forecasts, more rain, snow and strong wind are expected during the weekend in the Mátra region. The closure will remain in effect until Sunday at 7 pm but does not concern buses.
