CASTLE FUZER BUILT DURING THE OTTOMAN WARS : WONDERFUL PLACES IN HUNGARY #23

HUNGARIAN OTTOMAN WARS : FUZER CASTLE

Castle Fuzer was a defense castle at Fuze and was paced on a volcanic mountain before the death of King Andras II in 1235 by members of the Aba Clan.  This link to provides us a history of the noble families that owned the castle, which is located above Tokaj wine country and south of Kassa (not in Slovakia.)  Among the highlights of this history is that the sacred crown of Hungary was hidden in the castle for a year in 1526,  In 1567 it went into the hands of the Bathory family, which you may know because of Elizabeth Bathory, known as the countess who was said to have murdered many servant girls.  (A story that has been disputed.)  She got the castle in 1603.

WALKING IN HUNGARY : MAGYAR AMERICAN BOOK REVIEW

Downloaded this one as an e-book gratis my public library and an app called Overdrive.  Have you ever wanted to walk where the roads don't go? Pictures throughout, one gets the feel of the Hungarian rolling countryside, ruins, and other geographical and historical features you may want to see the slow way. A lovely book with insider tips such as how trails are marked and which bus lines are best to a particular location. Of particular interest to me the Hungarian "highlands" and Castle Fuzer.
