- Hi and welcome to Northern Hungary. In this Hungary travel video (magyarország videó), I continue my travel in Hungary , one of the more affordable countries in Europe, with a bit of a secret travel tip that offers off the beaten path travel in beautiful Hungary. So if you are curious about what to see in Hungary beyond its beautiful capital Budapest, and you want to travel off the beaten path or get to know places where life revolves around its locals rather than groups of tourists, Miskolc and Hungary's Northeast are the places to go to.
Miskolc is a less known city in Europe but should be on your list of places to visit on your next trip to Hungary. It is located in the north-east of Hungary, somewhat away from big tourist routes, and is Hungary’s fourth-largest city. It's one of the many historic cities in Eastern Europe and Central Europe and used to be a major center of heavy industry in the last century. Today Miskolc is the regional center of Northern Hungary and famous for its beautiful city center with a pedestrian zone that is lined with historic buildings full of old-world charm. It also features a medieval castle, a cave bath and a beautiful wooden church which is yet another must-see wooden church to visit in Eastern Europe.
The city is surrounded by the Bükk Mountains, Hungary's largest national park that offers some of the most beautiful mountains in Eastern Europe. The highlight might however be the nearby forest town of Lillafüred with its castle-crowned lake that is a must-see. If you are looking for a fairytale like beautiful scenery in Europe, Lillafüred is the place to see. Further to the northeast of Miskolc lies the village of Hercegkút, a beautiful destination if you are interested in the old vineyards culture of northeastern Hungary. It's a unique place as the vine caves are built into the mountain which makes it a fascinating place to see and a special travel tip for Eastern Europe even if you don't like vine.

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. 👍😊
The proper pronunciation of Miskolc is not that challenging.
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! 🙂
Thank you and greetings to Miskolc 👍🌺
@@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.
@@attilahalmai4590 thank you for the additional tips Attila. I hope I’ll make it back to Hungary soon again - a truly beautiful country
Congratulations for your national holiday on 15th March Hungary from your friends in Germany
Thank You Sven, and I wish all the best to german people, from a hungarian!
Miskolc is pronounced "Mishkolts" in Hungarain .. I studied engineering in Miskolc university from 1989-1993
Yes, I really butchered that name
Thank you for sharing suprising beautifully destination!
Thank you for watching again!
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….
Thank you Liz, I found the northern part of Hungary really exciting to explore. And there are almost no tourists anywhere 😊🌺
So nice Hungary...say hi from thailand!
Thank you 🙏
Another amazing place, thank you for sharing
Thank you Barbara 🌺
Hey Janus. Good work as usual. Thank You. 🌞
Thank you very much Gert! Have a great Easter weekend 🌺
Hajra magyarorszag ❤❤❤
A very interesting video! Thank you. Greetings from Bulgaria.
Thank you very much and greetings to beautiful Bulgaria 🇧🇬👍
Thank you for this fantastic video
Thank you for watching 🙏
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.
Yes Linda, there is so much to discover!
Beautiful beautiful video 👍👍👍
Thank you so much Tariq 🌺
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
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
i adore this country very much
It’s indeed so beautiful 👍
Thank You - from a hungarian!
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 👍
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
Thank you very much and greetings to Muskolc 👍🌺
Great video 👍😊
Thank you 🙏
Dear Janus! Just a little correction: Miscolc=Miskolc this is right name of the City🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻Thanks for the video🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks so much Bruce - good catch!! I’ve immediately corrected it in the title
M I S H K O L T S )! Thank you for your work.
Thank you!
Sorry for butchering the name
【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.🌷🥀
Thank you for watching. Yes, unfortunately it was closed for renovations when I was there. Looks like a beautiful castle though
Hello Janus...How are you? I hope all is well. Thank you for your hard work and beautifully done camera work.
Thank you Paul! Happy Easter 🌺
Thank you Janus. Happy Easter...hope you enjoy yours. :-)
Again the sun is covered with sprayed white haze. No direct sunlight anymore.
🖐🖐😉👍
Thank you!
LOL What is MishkolK? LOL IT IS a c = TS sound!
Poor Miszkolk! :DDD
Sorry, I definitely butchered that name 😅
What about ice cream shop, next to castle
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 👍
🐣❤️🐤
Thank you Maria 🌺
Janus, did you go to the spa....how was it? Looks verynice!
I ended up not going as I ran out of time. But definitely want to go next time I’m there
Ok thanks
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".
Thank you and sorry for butchering the pronunciation
Do all shops are closed on Sunday except cafe? Have a nice weekend 💐
Thank you Jun
Yes, I think that’s the case for most countries in Europe. No shopping on Sundays :)
@@januslog I forgot about that 😁
"Hungary remains one of the more portable countries in Europe". I'm not quite sure what that means. Can you explain, please?
“Affordable” 😊
Thank you for watching!
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 :)
Can this be a day trip from Budapest?
Any guided group or private tours available?
It can be fine but it’s quite far. You would need to leave white early
I’m not sure. I did it by car in my own
No trees in centar
That’s true Stefan, there aren’t that many. But luckily the forests are not very far 😊👍
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.
@@januslog its poor city planing, not lack of money
There are many trees and parks here, in Miskolc (I live here), but this video focuses rather on the built environment.
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)
Thank you! Yes I really butchered some of the names 😅
