Szentendre is a historic town with cobblestone streets, Baroque architecture, and a lively art scene. Settled by various peoples over the centuries, it became an important center for Serbian refugees in the 17th century, who left behind a distinctive Orthodox heritage. Today, its museums, galleries, and Danube River promenade make it a favorite destination for visitors interested in culture and history.

Visegrád Castle in Hungary is a history buff's/nature lover's dream. Combining an impressive 13th-century citadel with stunning Danube views, this stop is a great opportunity to explore Hungary's royal past and take amazing photos of the Danube Bend. You can even see a wax figure exhibit of the famous 1335 meeting of three kings. (Please note that between January 12 - February 28, the castle is only open on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays.)

Towering over Esztergom, Hungary, the Esztergom Basilica is a sight to behold. As the largest church in the country, it boasts a grand neoclassical design, a massive dome visible for kilometers, and a rich history. Built on the site of earlier churches dating back to King Stephen I, it's the seat of the Catholic Church in Hungary and offers stunning views and a deep connection to Hungarian history. Esztergom Castle, next to the basilica, was the royal residence and the political and religious center of Hungary from the reign of Saint Stephen until the mid-13th century.

Von Esztergom aus überqueren wir kurz die Grenze zur Slowakei, um einen postkartenreifen Blick auf die Basilika und die Altstadt zu genießen.

For those interested, Szentendre’s Marzipan Museum showcases the artistry of this sweet craft, with life-size sculptures of Lady Diana, Michael Jackson, and many other figures from history, cartoons, and nature.

Visegrad hat ein verstecktes Juwel: das Pilis-Biosphärenreservat, einen Nationalpark im Nationalpark. Es ist eine malerische Region, die sich durch ihre einzigartige Vegetation, mäandernde Bäche, rauschende Wasserfälle und ruhige, forellenreiche Seen auszeichnet. Genießen Sie das einzigartige Erlebnis, frisch zubereitete Forellen, direkt aus diesen Seen gefangen, oder Wild aus den umliegenden Wäldern in einem gemütlichen Waldrestaurant inmitten der Bäume zu verkosten (dienstags und mittwochs ist das Restaurant geschlossen, aber es gibt viele andere Mittagslokale in der Nähe).
