The 300 square miles of the Hortobágy National Park in eastern Hungary is a perfectly intact cultural landscape of traditional pastoral farming which has been in use for more than two millennia. The beautiful Pálvölgyi Cave in Budapest stretches more than four miles through a multi-level labyrinth of amazing rock formations formed by thermal waters over millions of years. Near the western end of Lake Balaton, Lake Hévíz is the largest thermal lake in the world. Bathers can take a dip in the 90 degree hot springs fed waters which are rich in sulfur, radium and minerals. The Lake Cave of Tapolca is a three mile system of Miocene limestone layered caves, which are electrically illuminated over a blue lake that placidly wanders directly under the town of Tapolca.
The weather will be cold in Hungary in the winter, but that just means you can visit without the crowds. Temperatures will be at or below freezing from December to February, so be sure to pack warm clothes and think about renting an SUV or all-wheel-drive vehicle with winter tires. Visit Miskolctapolca, a spa with thermal salt baths, outside of Miskolc to warm up. For skiing, there are several resorts to choose from including Bánkút Ski Center in the north, Síaréna Eplény in the west, and Mátraszentistván Ski Park in the northern Matra Mountains. In Budapest you can enjoy the largest outdoor skating rink in Europe and the Christmas Markets from late November to the beginning of January.
