Welcome spring! 5 amazing excursion destinations in Hungary – PHOTOS

Springtime is here already, bringing us sunshine, pleasant temperatures, and dozens of opportunities to enjoy our free time outdoors. Thus, we have collected 5 beautiful excursion destinations in Hungary worth visiting in the upcoming months.

Normafa

Budapest’s green oasis on the Buda side is among the most popular excursion destinations in the Hungarian capital. Normafa Park offers a wide range of outdoor activities all year long. Visitors can try several hiking trails, a running track, a street workout park, and a well-equipped playground for the little ones.

At the end of our exciting tour, we should stop and rest at the Elizabeth Lookout Tower, also known as the jewel of Normafa Park. The lookout tower is named after Queen Elizabeth, ‘Sissi’, who visited the mountain in 1882. Her visit was commemorated with a memorial stone which can still be found at the foot of the lookout tower.

Visegrád

Another exciting excursion destination in Hungary is Visegrád, also known as the most outstanding city in Europe. Despite its small size, the legendary town hides several exciting stories and attractions. Located in the heart of the Danube Bend, the settlement is the perfect destination during springtime as it is not far from the capital.

Szalajka Valley

Hungary’s most beautiful high mountain valleys can be found in the Bükk Mountains. Here, a must-see attraction is

the Veil Waterfall, which is one of the most spectacular natural treasures in Hungary.

The limestone tuff deposited from the water of the streams of the karst springs has formed a step-like formation, thanks to which the clear water that flows along in a veil offers a breathtaking view.
