Budapest's Feneketlen‑tó revamp highlights urban leisure in Hungary

The historic Feneketlen‑tó in Budapest’s Újbuda district, once a 19th‑century brick‑works quarry, has been fully renovated into a modern park. The 1.1‑hectare lake now features a running track, playground, evening light‑show fountain and improved walking paths. While folklore claims the lake has no bottom, engineers measured an average depth of 4–5 metres, with a deeper point reaching 17–18 metres.

In Hungary’s Bükki National Park, the chalet “Chalet for You” in the village of Répáshuta offers a mountain‑side retreat at 600 metres above sea level. The accommodation includes two log houses and a standalone Finnish‑style sauna, a private jacuzzi, and panoramic views of the surrounding forest. Guests can enjoy complimentary wine, on‑site meals, and easy access to hiking trails, with the tourist town of Lillafüred just a 20‑minute drive away.
