Yesterday I was in Debrecen. It is the second biggest city in Hungary with the biggest Protestant church in Hungary.

Transylvania

Posted by Bas on

Last week I was in Cluj, the "capital" of Transylvania. I encountered the following two street art graffiti. Vlad Tepes is more commonly known as Dracula. The graffiti says: Vlad Tepes (for) president. (The second graffiti says: "I am listening to you, Mr. Norris".)

Close to Cluj (actually in Turda) is a salt mine which was recently renovated. Besides a very cool "echo room" where you can say something into an abyss and its echo will be repeated countless times, there is also a hall with some entertainment areas for children. This hall is really huge (there is also an elevator) and has an interesting atmosphere.

On the last day of my visit I went hiking in the surrounding of Cluj. There was so much fog that day that the whole Carpathian basin around Cluj looked like we are actually above the clouds.

Yesterday I went hiking in the Börzsöny hills which lie on the norther side of the Danube. They are of volcanic origin and are part of the Danube-Ipoly National Park.
