Nature Walk in Eger
Even the most urban corners of Eger hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Eger Castle offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Valley of Beautiful Women for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Eger's hilltop castle, where Hungarian defenders famously resisted an Ottoman siege in 1552, overlooks a compact old town of baroque churches, minarets, and thermal baths. The Valley of Beautiful Women (Szekesvolgy) outside town is a horseshoe-shaped valley of wine cellars where visitors taste Egri Bikaver (Bull's Blood) and other local wines. A 40-meter Ottoman minaret — the northernmost in Europe — survives from 91 years of Ottoman rule.
