MISKOLC HUNGARY | Discovering the Beauty of Hungary's North

[@januslog]

Hi everyone, here’s a special video on Hungary’s north, which I think is way underrated. If you get a chance make sure you explore the many beautiful places there, close to the border to Slovakia. 👍😊

[@Folkstone57]

The proper pronunciation of Miskolc is not that challenging.

My sister and brother in-law landed in Miskloc today. ❤ Watching this video, I feel so excited for them

[@januslog]

Thank you for watching I’m sure they will enjoy it there

[@attilahalmai4590]

As for a Miskolc citizen, this video gives me chills, because You have a very good eye to see all the treasures here! You really showed the best places! Thank You for this video! 🙂

[@januslog]

Thank you and greetings to Miskolc 👍🌺

[@attilahalmai4590]

@@januslog However Miskolc is still fighting with it's communist 40 years (old houses were neglected, allowed to deteriorate then, nasty panel houses had been built instead), we have still many thing to repair and develop, but Your video always searched for the nice things and was made with a nice heart. When the Diósgyőr Castle renovation will be ready, it will be worth to visit. It is about 750 years old! The Avas Tower lookout point and the surroundings are also under renovation in the center of Miskolc, but next year it will be also ready and there is a very nice panorama from it to Miskolc. The also 750 years old Avas Calvinist Church and the surrounding cemetery on the Avas hill in the town centre is also a precious sight, just as the Jewish Cemetery at the west side of the Avas-hill, it also has a wonderful panorama to the Bükk hills.

So much I would want to see, the church, the wine cellars, the train ride and the nature hike. Thank you for the new info on Hungry…enjoy the rest of the weekend….

[@januslog]

Thank you Liz, I found the northern part of Hungary really exciting to explore. And there are almost no tourists anywhere 😊🌺

[@remscheider1]

Thank you for this fantastic video

[@januslog]

Thank you for watching 🙏

[@liltay1470]

Thank you for this beautiful video of Miskolc. I visited in 2002, and your video brought back many memories for me, and gave me a deeper understanding of the beauty and places in this amazing part of Hungary. There's so much more to travelling than bars, restaurants and night clubs. Your video is informative, calming, and expertly edited. Thank you again!

[@januslog]

Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and it brought back memories for you!

[@ЛюбомирСтоянов-э9щ]

A very interesting video! Thank you. Greetings from Bulgaria.

Thank you very much and greetings to beautiful Bulgaria 🇧🇬👍

[@lindavainomae3489]

Thanks for the great video - really interesting as I know little about this area. I would love to take the forest train...and the spa looks just amazing.

[@januslog]

Yes Linda, there is so much to discover!

[@wenzi2283]

Very well done video, I know Miskolc very well, but I have never seen it so beautiful, nor can I imagine what kind of video you would make about my city

Beautiful beautiful video 👍👍👍

[@januslog]

Thank you so much Tariq 🌺

[@tamaslukacs3173]

Thanks, another great video. 1:35 Lutra the otter. Lutra is the main character of István Fekete's novel Lutra. István Fekete has several novels with similar animal protagonists (e.g. Vuk fox, Kele stork, Bogáncs sheep dog, Hú owl). What they have in common is that it shows the typical behavior of the main character animal. The landscape, the wild animals and the people living there are also present in the novels. The novel was also made into a film with the same title. Some of the film's scenes were shot nearby at a trout farm. The farm can be reached by light rail. If you travel by light rail, it is worth going to the end. In the meantime, you can see the Őskohó (ancient smelter ), which is also rare in Europe. There is also a museum here with period tools, products and machines. A jelly festival is held in Miskolc at the beginning of every year. In 2023, it will be between February 14-16. The jelly is a strong broth that has congealed into a jelly. According to the nationally known story, a frog once jumped into the unsolidified jelly and blinked at the guest. Since then, they say that if someone doesn't understand something, it blinks like the jelly from Miskolc. Of course, the festival cannot be imagined without blinking peaceful jelly. :) The interesting thing about the city is that it is one of the three cities outside of Budapest that has a tram. The other two are Debrecen and Szeged. Note You can pay by card anywhere in Hungary. Motorway vignettes: The shortest duration is for 10 days. Its validity can be complete (for the entire country) or separately for each county. If you want to travel to Mickolc, you must purchase a vignette valid for two counties (Heves and Borsod). Tip If you want to travel by train, you should install the MÁV app on your mobile phone. Here you can find out about the current situation, the trains and buy a ticket after registering online. The QR code of the ticket received on the phone must be presented at check.

Thank you Tamas, these are amazing additions 👍

Hi Janus! I love exploring the less known places. Happy to see you did it in Hungary. The national park is very beautiful, perfect place to enjoy the serenity. The Vineyard region is so unique! Indeed like hobbit houses:) So cute and lovely. Did you go inside the house? Great and enjoyable video as always, Janus! Looking forward to the next one:) Dina

[@januslog]

Thank you Dina! I didn’t really go inside as these tunnels are pretty dark and not well maintained. There are some renovated ones that serve as storage and shops which can be visited but they were closed when I was there

[@ehec-s6j]

i adore this country very much

It’s indeed so beautiful 👍

[@leventekovacs8326]

Great video! ❤ Actually tho there are so much more to see in Miskolc.:D The castle is being renovated, and there are beautiful waterfalls on Miksolc-Lillfaüred with caves and more. Miksolc-Tapalca is also worth a visit, you can spend days just there.

[@januslog]

I agree, it’s a lovely place 👍

[@kaiushijima7060]

【5:42】 I think this photo is an old one. The Diosgyor castle was reconstructed in 2014 and another renovation started in February, 2021. I would like to see the real Diosgyor castle. 🥀🌷 Thank you for nice video.🌷🥀

[@januslog]

Thank you for watching. Yes, unfortunately it was closed for renovations when I was there. Looks like a beautiful castle though

[@thirsupitishanti9107]

So nice Hungary...say hi from thailand!

Miskolc is pronounced "Mishkolts" in Hungarain .. I studied engineering in Miskolc university from 1989-1993

[@januslog]

Yes, I really butchered that name

Indeed. Still the pics are great.​@@januslog

What about ice cream shop, next to castle

[@januslog]

Unfortunately the castle is as under renovation when I was there so I did not spend much time there. But thanks for the tip, I’ll check it out next time I’m there 👍

[@junshen8040]

Do all shops are closed on Sunday except cafe? Have a nice weekend 💐

[@januslog]

Thank you Jun Yes, I think that’s the case for most countries in Europe. No shopping on Sundays :)

@@januslog I forgot about that 😁

Janus, did you go to the spa....how was it? Looks verynice!

[@januslog]

I ended up not going as I ran out of time. But definitely want to go next time I’m there

[@PP-ob8zr]

Ok thanks

[@VincentLeroy007]

Dear Janus! Just a little correction: Miscolc=Miskolc this is right name of the City🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Thanks for the video🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@januslog]

Thanks so much Bruce - good catch!! I’ve immediately corrected it in the title

Thank you!

[@seattlecathy]

Can this be a day trip from Budapest?

[@seattlecathy]

Any guided group or private tours available?

[@januslog]

It can be fine but it’s quite far. You would need to leave white early

[@januslog]

I’m not sure. I did it by car in my own

[@ChefEarthenware]

"Hungary remains one of the more portable countries in Europe". I'm not quite sure what that means. Can you explain, please?

[@januslog]

“Affordable” 😊 Thank you for watching!

LOL What is MishkolK? LOL IT IS a c = TS sound! Poor Miszkolk! :DDD

Sorry, I definitely butchered that name 😅

No trees in centar

That’s true Stefan, there aren’t that many. But luckily the forests are not very far 😊👍

[@realMoMoPuFF]

The Big Plain is beautiful too and so much to see. It can be boring for most people. I live in a little town in the Big Plain and I love it here. It is different than other parts of Hungary.

[@stefandee1970]

@@januslog its poor city planing, not lack of money

[@attilahalmai4590]

There are many trees and parks here, in Miskolc (I live here), but this video focuses rather on the built environment.

[@olivierf.4931]

Again the sun is covered with sprayed white haze. No direct sunlight anymore.

[@yagi3925]

Thanks for this report. You're right, the North of Hungary, and especially its Northeast, is largely underrated. Having said this, I'm afraid you should learn the principles of Hungarian spelling, as you completely mispronounce several names: Miskolc is pronounced "Mishkolts".

[@januslog]

Thank you and sorry for butchering the pronunciation

Down to Eager? Hú.. If you like to vomit then choose that route, otherwise avoid it altogether and choose the longer route to Eger. It's not so beautiful but at least you won't be sick by the time you get there. LOL Tokay :)

[@alexandraszakacsi4229]

Nice video, but try to change pronunciation from Miskolk to Miskolc (rather like Cyprus first "c", this "c" is the same on the end of the word)

[@januslog]

Thank you! Yes I really butchered some of the names 😅

[@lesliehatun2044]

Herceg. My father's name. From Okoritofutopus.

[@januslog]

Thank you for watching and it’s nice to hear you have some name linkages there

[@Objective-100]

It's not Miskolk, the correct pronouncination is "Mishcolts". Somethinng to expect to know when the film is about the city

[@januslog]

Thank you, I indeed butchered the pronunciation Was one of my early videos
