Hungary – delicious goulash
Hungary offers all kinds of the recreation opportunities. However it is not suitable for sea and salt water lovers, or for climbers and lovers of hiking and skiing, because the country is mostly flat and the higher hills are just at the border with Slovakia, where is also located the highest peak of Hungary – Kékes (1015 meters) situated in the Mátra mountain range. Snow occurs rarely, and only for a few days.
But everything else you can even imagine you can experience in Hungary – the cultural and social events, concerts and discos, folklore festivals, good food and drink, especially a great wine, sports (fishing, bathing and swimming, excellent opportunities biking, ballooning, parachuting and hang-gliding, windsurfing, sailing and water skiing on Lake Balaton, beautiful horses with the opportunity to ride on them, craft workshops, nostalgic carriage or old trains rides, boat cruises, live gypsy music, visits to zoos and nature reserves, and last but not least, many wellness activities in famous Hungarian spa.

Its main ingredient is the pepper, which grown all around the country. Another important ingredient is sour cream. The most commonly used meat is from oxen, calves, pigs or rams. They can also prepare the turkeys, chickens, ducks and geese as well as different game. The local rivers are excellent providers of freshwater fish such as perch, Danube catfish, sturgeon, pike or carp.
