Riding

A thousand years ago the Magyars arrived on horseback into the area, which is todays Hungary. They drank kumis, fermented mares milk, and they ate meat, which had been softened under their saddles as they rode, they buried warriors together with his horse. With such traditions, it is little wonder that several hundred riding stables run by people who love and understand horses welcoming visitors who love riding. Because horsemen love horses. If they can theyll spend all their time with horses, talk about horses, give and accept mounted presents. Our website will be trying more and more practical information.

Wine

On Hungarys sunny hillside slopes on the Great Plain grapes have been cultivated for around three thousand years. The renown and success of Hungarian wine-makers can be seen in the command by Maria Theresa (who was Queen of Hungary between 1717 and 1780) that Habsburg archduchesses should drink Somló wines on their wedding night, to conceive a male heir. Or in the devotion Louis XIV of France, the Sun King, had for Tokay Aszu, which he called the Eine of Kings, the King of Wines.
Hungarian winemakers are today still producing a whole range of excellent quality, distinctive wines., from the soft and harmonious table wines for everyday to the noble wines for feastdays and celebrations. They know that a sip says more than a thousand words. So look into our website to see what the experts have to offer. And dont forget that calm and cool wine cellars welcome guests in all the 22 wine-producing regions of Hungary. Your good health!

Spas

Hungary is country of thermal waters. It was known as such to both the civilians and soldiers living here under the Roman Empire. The Turks, who occupied the country during the 16th and 17th centuries, brought with them their own rich traditions of baths and bathing. Many of the baths they built are still functioning as such in buildings now of historic value in many towns and cities. The drilling for carbohydrates that started in the 1910s led to the discovery of thermal waters of medicinal value in 600 locations, and Hungary, in the light of these geothermal treasures, became the richest country in the world. Hippocrates in the 6th century B.C. described illness as the disruption of the harmony between man and his environment. Our thermal baths and spas offer, with their numerous up to date therapeutic and medical services, rest and recuperation.
