Skiing in Hungary

Now that we are mired smack dab in the middle of winter, with the Olympics occurring this month in South Korea, it is nice to know that the land of the Hussars does offer several noteworthy places to ski. I’d guess that 99% of the people who like to ski consider themselves recreational!amateur skiers at best. With that thought in mind, the slopes of Hungary are not of the caliber of a Vail, Aspen or even Kitzbühel, but what Magyar ski areas do offer are several high quality resorts with plenty of challenges. Most ski trails in Hungary are only an hour or so from Budapest.

One place offering fine skiing is a site which I had the opportunity to see back in 2014. It is only about a half an hour’s drive away from my relatives’ village of Csőt. The Eplény is a stone’s throw away from the quaint town of Zirc and is nestled within the Bakony Mountains. It offers 16 slopes with varying degrees of difficulty.

Other good places to ski are located within the Mátra, Bükk and Börzsöny mountain regions. The Visegrád, located a few kilometers from the Danube Bend, offers a breathtaking view of the river for those shushing down its trails. There are other resorts that have lodges of architectural significance, designed by the famed Imre Makovecz. The oldest and closest resort to the national capital is the Dobogókő, which was built in 1923. The Zsindelyes Inn is the focal point of this legendary winter retreat. The Bánkút is located in the Bükk National Park and was originally constructed for the Communist Youth Olympic Carnes which now also includes the Hungarian National Ski Museum.

The February Wordsearch is comprised of 15 clues.

Each clue is associated with resorts or other subject matter connected to Hungarian skiing. Good luck, and see you next month.

For more information on Magyar winter activities, log onto kekesteto.hu or visegradsipalya.hu, or do a Coogle search for “Hungary ski resorts.’’

Éljen az Amerikai-Magyar,
