Visit to Visegrád

Today we traveled out to the mountains.
We began our day at the highest point in Hungary to go sledding in the snow.
But we saw that it had been too hot this past week, so the snow melted and the mountain was too rocky to sled in the 4 or 5 cm of snow that was left.
Highest Point in Hungary 1014 meters


Then we went to the first capital of Hungary, Visegrád.
It is located north of Budapest next to the Danube.
It was the main castle of Hungary and during the middle ages most of the population lived only in that region.
We toured the castle.
