We bend but it's not our knee, what's that?

Time is short and there are so many interesting things to do and see. How can you choose?

You don't have to! I know a place in Hungary where you can enjoy the beauty of nature with fresh air and hills to climb and also see historical monuments to learn about the story and the culture of a nation from its foundatino to modern days. And you can also relax and enjoy the taste of the region too.

Are you interested? So let's have a trip to the Danube bend! I'm sure you've heared or maybe even visited Szentendre, a lovely little trasure box north of Budapest. This town in sull of amazing crooked little streets so it's really romantic to take a walk there (believe me, I have the experience ;) ). I must admit it's crowded with tourists and souvenir shops waiting for them.

What about Esztergom, the ecclesiastical center of the Hungarian Catholic church. It has wonderful churches, including the biggest basilica of the country. It is also the home of the most important historical records of church and political history of the nation. There are many interesting museums that you can visit. Although the river is in the middle of the town also forming an island and you can also enjoy the thermal water of the region, still you feel a bit far from nature.

So what I recommend is a visit to a tiny little city, actually looking rather like a village: Nagymaros. You can choose to walk on the Danube bank enjoying the view of the Pilis hills opposite, or climb the so-called Calvary Hill and take pleasure in the scene as well as in your performance. During you rwalk you can find out a lot about history thanks to the old church buildings in the centre of the settlement. Once you climb up, start your way through the fileds and forest to get to the other end of Nagymaros and have a look at the political relics built in the 20 century. If you feel you have done enough, sit down for a lunch got from the river and a small handmade dessert produced locally.

Enjoy the bending of the Danube in front of your knees.
