Pecs Hungary Summer Adventure: The Multicultural City in Mecsek



Here comes summer in Pecs, Hungary.

The Panoramic View in Pecs Mescek

Surely, summer is the best season of all because here they have the long cold winter season. This makes  people go mad about summer. At this time, life comes out into open - squares and streets fill with  locals in the evenings and foreign and local tourists are enjoying all over the places.

Summer in Pecs, Hungary lures everybody out of  their homes. Streets and squares fill with couples, people walk their dogs, children do battle with icecream, girls jog and of course terraces and open-air bars buzz with crowds. 

For us, the Mecsek Adventure and exploration is our summer adventure.  I can still feel and smell the essence of the green nature and trees surrounding the place. We hopped off at the first lake and we thought that we were there, but we were a  bit far from the Orfu.  We walked along and until we reach the Orfu Swimming pool and lake. It's very romantic that I was in this place with the person I truly love as he gave me a sizzling kiss. Only the trees were the witness of our love. Trees are really alive while they were looking at us as if they have their eyes on their tiny holes. As the wind blows that make the leaves dancing, we enjoyed the moment in the midst of this nature intervention.

We kept going and looking for the spring. From there, we met Ersbet and Tibor who were looking for the Aboliget Park.  From there, we found this nature park which has a pond, cave and museum. 


Enjoying Pecs by day is easy for us. We found these free cooling waters in Mescek and the surrounding area, and it is less crowding options for a swim lie with in a few kilometers of town. We really having fun with this Summer Adventure - swimming and mountain hiking.

On the next day, we started climbing the Pecs mountain and supposing to see the TV tower, but instead we saw these beautiful scenery.






Mountain Adventures was really incredibly fun for me because it leaves beautiful memories and beautiful scenery that is surely instilled every details in my heart and mind. This is a unique adventure which more than just picture taking.
Our first day was just an easy day. We explored the place and we've seen this beautiful churches. First church was an Ottoman church and then was converted to Catholic church. But, some of the parts of the church was still being kept.




In St. Basilica Church...


Medieval University reopens after 1000 years, dating back 14th century. It is scheduled to be inaugurated on September 1, it's foundation date and Pecs City Day itself. The excavation and restoration of the medieval university was started in 1985.

Hungary first University was founded by Lajos the Great in 1367. The historic institution looks nothing like any university today. Only a few students were taught here ( written records listen less than ten), in a small lecture rooms, in the subjects of tax and law. The institution was ran under the auspices of one Vilmos Koppenbachi, then city bishop. After his death the university was left with out anyone in charge, and had lost much of its importance by 1374. It was closed at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries. The whole complex in which the university was located was destroyed in 1664.


Medieval Pecs should be a bigger tourist attraction for the city as a whole.
Here are the recommended Places for you to pay visit. Surely, you will love it.

This beautiful fountain will illuminate at night with different colors.






This Zulnay fountain attracts tourists.




The Lover's Padlock tradition is the first ever in the whole world.















This is really the most exciting summer ever in my whole life.

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially  when you have to step out of your comfort zone.  A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip  are  lessons to reflect upon.  We  have proven how risky traveling is  w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were  times  we  put  our selves in danger because  we  messed out  our  bookings  and things didn't work out as  we  planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used  to booking our next departure  ticket  ever y time  we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had  to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries. Family on Snowplay in Mount Donna Buang, Warburton As I was holding Hannah on my left hand while I was holding the bars walking slow...
