Despite the grey weather and the cold, it is worth venturing outside and exploring the beauties of Hungary since there are many places that look even more magical during the chilly months.
Dress up warmly, fill up a thermos with hot tea, and discover the following destinations.
Normafa
If you do not want to leave the capital, visit Normafa, a popular hiking destination on the Buda side. It is a great place for skiing, sledging, or just simply enjoying the beautiful winter scenery. According to the Normafa Park website, the Kis-Norma area is suitable for all skiers, while the Nagy-Norma and Harangvölgy runs are only recommended for more experienced skiers.
Lake Velence
Lake Velence, Hungary’s third-largest lake, is an easy-to-access destination due to its proximity to Budapest. It offers high-quality recreational opportunities not only in the summertime but also during autumn and winter. When it gets cold enough, this romantic place transforms into a natural skating rink. However, you can also find another ice rink at Velence Corso.
Szalajka Valley
Szalajka Valley, one of the most beautiful parts of the Bükk region, is a popular hiking area. Its most famous sight is the mesmerising Veil Waterfall which consists of 17 stages and represents an exceptionally high conservation value.
