[EN] Veszprém is one of the oldest towns in Hungary located about 16 km north of the Lake Balaton. We visited it after visiting the Tihany peninsula. We walked to the center of Veszprém where the Castle Hill is located. Many historic buildings are very well renovated, some of them are just being renovated. The Castle Hill is a really nice place with beautiful old buildings and churches. You can also have fantastic views of the whole area standing nearby the Statues of King Szent Istvan and Gizella.

The town of Veszprém is situated in the Transdanubian part of Hungary, on the border of two regions, between the Bakony Hills and the Balaton-uplands. Veszprém is built on a ridge. The Brook Séd divides the land into low hills, and that is why the town is said to be built on seven hills: Várhegy (Castle Hill), Benedek-hegy (St. Benedict Hill), Jeruzsálem-hegy (Jerusalem Hill), Temetőhegy (Cemetery Hill), Gulyadomb (Herd Hill), Kálvária-domb (Calvary Hill) and Cserhát. Twisting, narrow streets, tiny houses and flowery gardens are the main characteristics of the town.The thousand-year-old history of the town is concentrated in the Castle. Here is the residency of the Archbishop of Veszprém, in the spectacular baroque-style Bishop’s palace, built in 1767. The Archiepiscopal Archives can also be found in the building, where almost 2000 documents are housed from the 11-14th century. These ancient documents are really precious especially for researchers, who can get information about life through the ages and details of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages.The Archiepiscopal Library prides itself on its 60,000 volumes. Bishop Márton Padányi Bíró, who endowed it with 600 books, formed the basis for the collection. In 1751 he had made a catalogue of the books, so when he sent his report to Pope Benedict XIV he could proudly mention the collection in it.Queen Gizella, the wife of our first king Stephen I, has always been highly appreciated in the town. A museum and chapel are named after Queen Gizella. The Gothic-style chapel was built in the 13th century, the walls covered with full-sized frescoes of six Apostles.

Veszprém (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈvɛspreːm]; German: Weißbrunn, Slovene: Belomost) is one of the oldest urban areas in Hungary, and a city with county rights. It lies approximately 15 km (9 mi) north of the Lake Balaton. It is the administrative center of the county (comitatus or 'megye') of the same name.
Etymology
The name of the city originates from a Slavic personal name Bezprem or Bezprym (Proto-Slavic Bezprěmъ) meaning stubborn, self-confident, not willing to retreat.[5] Besprem (before 1002), Vezprem (1086), Bezpremensis (1109).[5] The form Vezprem originates in early medieval scribal habits and frequent exchange of B and V under the influence of Greek.[5]
The city was named either after a chieftain, or the son of Princess Judith (elder sister of St. Stephen of Hungary), who settled here after her husband Boleslaus I of Poland expelled her and her son.[citation needed]
Location and legend
Veszprém lies on both sides of the Séd creek, approximately 110 km (68 mi) from Budapest (via the M7 highway and Road 8). It can also be reached from Győr via Road 82 and from Székesfehérvár via Road 8.
According to legend, Veszprém was founded on seven hills. The seven hills are Várhegy (Castle Hill), Benedek-hegy (St. Benedict Hill), Jeruzsálem-hegy (Jerusalem Hill), Temetőhegy (Cemetery Hill), Gulyadomb (Herd Hill), Kálvária-domb (Calvary Hill), and Cserhát.
History
Anonymus Belæ Regis Notarius (the anonymous notary of King Béla III) wrote that a castle already stood here when the Hungarians first occupied the area. The castle was probably a 9th-century Frankish fortress. The castles of Veszprém, Esztergom and Székesfehérvár, were the earliest Hungarian stone castles, which had already been built during the reign of High Prince Géza, a time when motte castles were much more common.
Veszprém had an important religious role during the struggle to make Christianity the official religion of Hungary - Stephen I of Hungary defeated the armies of his chief opponent, Koppány, near Veszprém. The city became the first episcopal seat of Hungary in 1009 and an archiepiscopal seat in 1993. Comitatus Veszprém was one of the earliest historical counties of Hungary.
During the 13th century Mongol invasion of Hungary, Veszprém was protected by its castle.[6]
Veszprém was the favorite city of Queen Gisela, the wife of St. Stephen. For centuries, the queens of Hungary were crowned by the bishop of Veszprém. The city is still often called the city of queens. In the year 1294 Queen Fenenna confirmed that, at that time, the former(!) Queen Elizabeth had the privilege to collect the donations of the church in the Veszprém County.
Veszprém was among the first Hungarian cities to have a university - students studied law and arts here for several centuries. The university was destroyed by fire in 1276, when Peter I Csák invaded and devastated the Diocese of Veszprém. Veszprém became a university town again in the 20th century.
Veszprém changed hands between Austrians and Ottomans until 1684 after the Battle of Mohács in 1526. It was known as Pespirim and was a sanjak centre in Budin Province during Ottoman rule.[citation needed]
The town was plundered by the Turks in 1552,[7] but they could not maintain occupation: the region north of lake Balaton remained in the Kingdom of Hungary (1538–1867) (captaincy between Balaton and Drava). The castle was demolished in 1706. Until 1918, VESZPRIM (also named WESZPRIM and WESPRIM near 1850, and WEISSBRUNN in German) was part of the Austrian monarchy, province of Hungary;[8] in Transleithania after the compromise of 1867 in the Kingdom of Hungary.
During World War II, Veszprém was captured by Soviet troops of the 3rd Ukrainian Front on 23 March 1945 in the course of the Vienna Offensive.
Public Transport
The city's public transportation consists exclusively of buses, which are run by the city-funded company V-Busz. 30 bus lines run throughout the city, including lines 44 and 45 which are night buses. All buses are easily recognizeable even from a distance due to their purple livery. Tickets can be purchased on the buses, from ticket machines across the city and at bus stations from the ticket desks. V-Busz took over the city's public transportation in 2018 from the regional, state-funded bus company (ÉNYKK) due to a lack of funding and an old rolling stock of buses, some of which were from the mid 80s.

The Castle of Regéc - Regéci Vár - Zemplén - Hungary - 4K
The castle of Regéc was built on top of the 625 m high Várhegy (Castlehill), which is situated between two villages Mogyoróska and Regéc.
The first historical mention of the castle dates back to 1307. The castle was built by the members of the Aba nation, possibly in the XIII-XIV century. In the next centuries it was a royal possession. During the middle ages, the following families owned the castle, Szapolyai, Serédy, Alaghy and Esterházy.
The castle's hey day was when György Rákóczi the I., ruler of Transylvania took over the castle due to the peace treaty of Linz in 1645. In its secure courtyard Ferenc Badinyi tought the 6 year-old Ferenc the secrets of the Latin language, which made his childhood difficult.
The castle served its last military purpose during the revolution, lead by Thököly, when it became a war material storage place for the kuruc. In 1685 the mercenaries of the keizer blew up the walls by gunpowder.

Fort Szigliget - a Fortress of Balaton - A Balaton vára - 4K
The ruins of the medieval fortress stand atop the 239m Várhegy hill. Recently restored, the castle looks out on a panorama of Lake Balaton toward the Tapolca Basin. Poets have praised the beauty of the village and landscape.
The Szigliget Fort was built by the Pannonhalma Abbey in the middle of the 13th century. The fort on the top of a hill withstood the Turkish siege, but the Austrian-Hungarian Emperor ordered its explosion in 1702, so until the recent restoration, only the ruins remained for visitors to see.

[Doku] Reiseziel: Ungarn - Pannonien (HD)
Donauromantik, Sissi-Schloss und Gulasch - das lieben die Deutschen an Ungarn. Doch die Idylle hat längst einen grauen Schleier. Wie in keinem anderen Land der EU prägen rechte und rechtskonserva.
Ein Landstrich zum Verlieben erwartet den Besucher mit vielen kleinen Überraschungen: mit dem Anblick eines barocken Balkons in Sopron, dem klangvollen Konzert der Morgenglocken in Veszprém,.
Ungarn ist zu einem Anlaufpunkt für Rechtsextremisten aus Ost und West geworden. Sie halten im Land immer wieder Kongresse und Treffen ab, einige ziehen sogar dorthin. Denn sie fühlen sich.
