Hungary's UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Many American-Hungarian travelers make it a point to visit each of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in the land of the Hussars. There are currently a total of eight such designated places that have become popular tourist attractions for many trekkers.

UNESCO is an acronym for the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which is made up of nearly 200 member-nations. Although the World Heritage Sites are the most popular and recognizable part of this large organization, their primary objectives are aimed at promoting human rights, conservation and the acceptance of all cultures. Chartered by 20 nations in London in 1945, UNESCO’s headquarters soon moved to Paris and have remained there ever since. There are over 1,600 heritage sites worldwide, with the United States having a total of 24.

Hungary became a member-nation in 1948 but did not take part in the UNESCO conventions until 1985.

Acquiring a designation as a World Heritage Site is a complicated and time-consuming endeavor. Currently, Hungary is seeking to enroll 11 additional locations as possible heritage sites.

The UNESCO website is an extensive and interesting stop off for those web cruisers wishing to learn more. Log on at www.UNESCO.org and explore! (Another interesting web listing for Amerikum-Magyar types is www.Hungary- Today.hu.)

The May 2016 puzzle consists of 15 clues. Each clue is either one of the eight Hungarian World Heritage Sites or a key word pertaining to UNESCO.

Good luck! Don’t forget your édes anya on Mother’s Day. And, this Memorial Day, remember our soldiers who gave up their lives so we may be free!
