Visegrad Group or V4 - Czech, Hungarian, Polish and Slovak alience, now very active in EU politics. Yes, exacly in this castle it was firstly erected, when kings lived there ofc. ;)
MooseheadDrinker The main goal of V4 is rather to be the serious power in EU politics. With 65 milion people Visegrad is as big as France. Rejection of migrant quotas is only possible because of it, but I think the biggest conflict between V4 and EU is "Europe of nations" vs. "Europe as nation" point of view.
You're so funny-:) Don't grow up please. Kids at heart are more fun and there aren't enough of them in this world. What a beautiful view! Took my breath away for one second-:)
Congrats for these videos. They are really great. It is sad that this impotrant castle is still in ruins after 300 years the Habsburgs exploded the whole building.
Your phone should have a passive app to count your steps. When we were in Poland last June, some of us on the tour were comparing our steps on our phones at the end of the day. Most of our time was spent walking.
Hey guys! We went to Visegrad recently and we also loved it! Indeed it's the perfect day trip from Budapest. Our blog post and video will be ready soon :)
I have to admit that Danube is a pretty awesome river, it's really really long and plenty to see along the way. I'd love to sail on a boat along that river, idk if it's possible but I'd fkn love it.
next time try Rám-szakadék. It's a place beetween Esztergom and Visegrád in the forest. Go at summer, cuz at winter it's usually closed. wear comfortable shoes and clothes that u can climb rocks in it
Oh, how wonderful! In case you need some advice, let me know! In my blog there is a video about Miskolc! Have fun and looking forward to seeing your next film!
It can be as expensive as you want it to be! We try to avoid touristy shops/restaurants and opt for local street food and cooking at our apartment when we can. But, in general, it is less expensive than capital cities in western Europe. Have a great New Years :)
hey guys im from Hungary and it was really funny and cute how u guys tried to pronounce the names and everything:Dyou guys should do a trip to debrecen its really beautiful and theres a lot of cool stuff and food and there you should see the main square and the great forest its soo beautiful.And if u havent tried the pöttyös túró rudi you really should try it its a hungarian dessert and its really good.
LOL csillag (chill-ugh) means star. Its the same thing as a shuriken just a bit bigger. If you ever plan to visit Hungary again, I highly recommend the north coast of lake Balaton (Tihany,Balatonfüred) in the summer (last two weeks of July is the high season, so the best) . The water is really good there, full of people, parties, and a good clean neighbourhood.
I love to watch your channel. I'm Hungarian Canadian and show these videos to my kids and visit Hungary every year. There is a cave where you can go through with little boat 300 meters under ground. www.bfnpi.hu/en/tapolca-lake-cave-visitor-centre-tapolca Also an other beautiful cave which is a World Heritage : www.anp.hu/en/az-aggteleki-karszt-barlangjai Probably you could enjoy that also. Thanks for your videos.
Do you find that many people speak English there? Can you get around easily? I always found Hungary to be challenging since the language is so unique compared to any other European language.
To be honest, much less people speak english in Hungary, than in the West European countries. If you are in Budapest, it will be much easier to find somebody who speaks. Outside of the capital, its a bit harder, but the people are very kind everywhere even if they don't speak english. I'm sure you won't have any serious issue because of the language. Yeah, hungarian is pretty unique language. One of the most comlplicated in the world, we are really proud of it. Thank you guys for this videos. I love to see my home like this. Even if you are making me homesick. :D Enjoy your time in Hungary. A hungarian from UK.
No we do not speak any English at all. Currently I am typing random letters on the keyboard and it is mere coincidence that said letters are forming a more or less coherent sentence in English. Huh, weird. Jokes aside, no, Hungarians can't understand Estonian or Finnish (or even Khanti or Mansi for that matter - its closest known relatives). Hungarian is approximately as close to Finnish or Estonian as Enlish is to, say Russian (possibly even less so). Hungarian is a language isolate in this sense, and we (its native speakers) have no idea what it's like to hear another language that we can roughly understand.
+pbutter237 It's easy to find English speakers in Budapest but as we start to visit some of the smaller cities, there's more miming and charades needed to communicate. Wes understands a bit of Hungarian but I'd say it's still manageable for tourists to get by!
Visegád became very important when King Charles Robert hosted a royal congress with the kings of Poland, Bohemia and Hungary, which resulted in an extensive alliance against the Austrian Habsburg influence and several contracts regarding inheriting each others' country in case they die without an heir(that's how Charles' son Louis the Great became Polish king as well). That very congress was the forefather of today's V4(The four of Visegád=Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary) Group that is currently very active in the EU mostly by opposing the idiotic decisions of Brussels. Also funfact: when King Matthias refurbed and extended the Castle in Renessaince style, one of the fountains was made so it would pump the king's favourite wine. Also the pallets(that wooden thingy) was used for public humiliation not for chopping bits off you: you would get locked up on the town square and ppl would throw rotten eggs and other things at you... 😁 Hope you guys had a fab time exploring my dear country!
Hi ; Welcome in Hungary . :D You must go : /East/ Eger , Hortobágy , Nyíregyháza ; /West/ Hévíz - Keszthely / you get in a hotel , yuo can swimm in a Hot mineral water lake / , Győr , Pécs.
Thank you! We are going to Eger next week and we're just about to upload a day in Gyor! Haven't heard of Hortobágy or Nyíregyháza but we'll check it out :)
Do you try eat " Vadpörkölt with dödölle "? It is a very good food / spicy , wild food , in West / In east you must try " Halászlé " ! / It is a great fish soup / ." Újházi Tyúkhúsleves "/ a great chicken soup / " Rétes " / Dessert / ;) Drinks : Pálinka , Hubertus , Unikum ; in Eger wine " Egri Bikavér "
That's not an execution tool, that's a pillory (sp?). When you stole something or did something not so terribly bad like murder, they locked you in those, and people were invited to jeer and throw crap at you, like rotten fruit.
To visit this kind of places in autumn is really nice. The beautiful views and the colors. It's good for the soul.
Agreed!
Viseguard is very important for Poland, Czechs and Slovaks. the V4 gruop (viseguard gruop) is very important in central Europe
What amazing view, it's gorgeous up there in that castle, you guys look so happy, and makes us feel part of your journey. 😊
Thanks Andrea! We're happy to take you along with us wherever we go 😊
“ Some people say you have to grow up “ 😂 not me. The view was astonishing
So fun to watch your video after tough Monday! Just couldn't stop smiling :)
Thank you Daniel! Hope tomorrow is less tough for you ;)
I love your videos. 💕
It really feels like traveling with you.
It feels like we're taking all our viewers with us too 💕

V4 will resist the Islamic invasion of Europa!!!!!

the Danube river is really amazing ;-) all best 😄

Thank you!! :D
You two are a wonderful couple. I enjoy listening and watching. Thanks for the videos.
You're so funny-:) Don't grow up please. Kids at heart are more fun and there aren't enough of them in this world. What a beautiful view! Took my breath away for one second-:)
Hehe thank you :))
great scenery in Hungary, I am jealous, love the vids
Amazing song selection. :)
Thanks :)
what's the title of the second song? anyone please..

Congrats for these videos. They are really great. It is sad that this impotrant castle is still in ruins after 300 years the Habsburgs exploded the whole building.
Thank you!
Visegard is great.Even from the lower Castel the view is great
Your phone should have a passive app to count your steps. When we were in Poland last June, some of us on the tour were comparing our steps on our phones at the end of the day. Most of our time was spent walking.
Good idea! We'll try out an app for next time
Nice, nice, nice... more than nice, but I'd take the halfpipe :)
Hey guys! We went to Visegrad recently and we also loved it! Indeed it's the perfect day trip from Budapest. Our blog post and video will be ready soon :)
Glad to hear you enjoyed Visegrad!
I have to admit that Danube is a pretty awesome river, it's really really long and plenty to see along the way. I'd love to sail on a boat along that river, idk if it's possible but I'd fkn love it.
Wachau Valley in Austria is super cool
The Wachau Valley looks so picturesque! Not sure about sailing but they do have lots of boat tours along the Danube
There's a similar slide in Łódź too! :D But it's super far away from the center.
Something to do for next time we visit Łódź! ;)
Ohh, I really hope to see you guys once again!
Good one !!!!! Thanks for this video.. very useful... what camera do you guys use btw :)?
you should visit Szentendre it's a really beautiful little city about 20km from Budapest
Thank you Ruben! We had to choose between Visegrad and Szentendre but hopefully next time we'll be able to see it :)
next time try Rám-szakadék. It's a place beetween Esztergom and Visegrád in the forest. Go at summer, cuz at winter it's usually closed. wear comfortable shoes and clothes that u can climb rocks in it
Woah..looks so cool!
It's one rly nice town. Guys u should get ur own TV show XD like hell yeah! Chesch! XD
We would love that one day!! Thanks XD
I advice you to visit Miskolc, it is a city among mountains! You would love it!
Thank you Ann! We're planning to go there next week. Wes' dad is originally from Miskolc :)
Oh, how wonderful! In case you need some advice, let me know! In my blog there is a video about Miskolc! Have fun and looking forward to seeing your next film!
Nice video. I'm going to Budapest for new years. How expensive was the city? For daily meals and so on
It can be as expensive as you want it to be! We try to avoid touristy shops/restaurants and opt for local street food and cooking at our apartment when we can. But, in general, it is less expensive than capital cities in western Europe. Have a great New Years :)

Thanks for the recommendations! We've heard good things about Tihany and definitely hope to check it out during the summer one day :)

Oh wow, looks amazing!

Can Hungarians understand some Estonian?
pbutter237 no, we can't

Out of ALL the places you have visited, which cuisine did you enjoy the most?
That's a tough one! We've had some REALLY great foods here in Europe but I think the food in Mexico is our favourite so far :)

Woohoo! Welcome to the fam :)
csillag = star
Protip: thick, wool socks for long hikes. Or at least thick socks.
Yes, that would be ideal!
That's not an execution tool, that's a pillory (sp?). When you stole something or did something not so terribly bad like murder, they locked you in those, and people were invited to jeer and throw crap at you, like rotten fruit.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing
Heyya get married while there
