We are waiting for you! medveotthon.hu Opening hours Monday – Sunday: 9.00 – 19.00 Prices Adult: HUF 2900/person Child (between 3-14 years): HUF 2400/person Students (15-18 years old) 2400 HUF/person Family (minimum 1 adult and two children aged 3-14): HUF 2400/person Pensioner: HUF 2400/person Child (under 3): FREE Tickets Go to website +36 20 593 8113 latogatas@medveotthon.hu Description The Veresegyház Bear Sanctuary, built on an area of five and a half hectares, is the only Bear Sanctuary in Central Europe, which was created with the cooperation of the World Organization for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) and the Municipality of Veresegyháza. After almost half a year of work, the designated area became suitable for receiving bears, so in 1998 the bears, which had been living in bad conditions until then, were relocated from Gödöllő. An important aspect of the design of the area was that the visitors could see the animals completely safely, up close, without disturbing them. The type and number of animals living in the Medveotthon is constantly changing, as specimens arrive here from all over the country. Medveotthon accepts animals from private farms, other zoos and from abroad. The Medveotthon is owned and maintained by the Municipality of Veresegyház. The Medveotthon quickly became known, and is currently the third most visited zoo in the country. It has an average of 200,000 visitors a year. Medveotthon received zoo certification in the fall of 2009.In the summer of 2000, the Medveotthon was expanded with an enclosure suitable for wolves. A forested area of nearly one and a half hectares provides conditions similar to their natural habitat. A new wolf enclosure was built at the beginning of 2015, and another enclosure was created in 2021, and our pet wolves currently live there. The birdlife that can be observed is also worth mentioning. It is a great experience to observe the ravens, crows, and mallards on the lake, but we also occasionally see gray herons and starlings. There is a lot of bustle, especially at feeding time.In the area surrounded by a protective system, fifteen caves with a narrow entrance but with bays, as well as two lakes of 160 square meters each, were created for the bears, which provide them with drinking water and the opportunity to play. And the wooded area belonging to the bears’ enclosure offers the pleasure of climbing trees, hiding and cooling off. The area of Medveotthon is constantly being built, beautified, and changed. It has now become an unmissable tourist attraction, only 25 km from Budapest. It also expands its entertainment options, so children can find a playground, a small locomotive, a teddy bear lift, and can press different coins in the area of the Bear Home.Since 2017, the Medveotthon has been housing three lynxes. The lion house was built in 2019 and is currently home to 12 lions. In 2022, a new line of pens was established in the area behind the bears, where fallow deer, mouflon, and Hungarian rack sheep are presented. On the right side of the road leading to Medveotthon, visitors can see gray cattle. Welcome to the Bear Farm, Veresegyház Read moreClose Bear Farm, Veresegyház 2112 Veresegyház, Patak u. 50/a.

Hungaroring

Classical. This is what it has become over the past years, the race track of Hungaroring. It was built three and a half dedcades ago as a rarity of its time, for being the first one beyond the Iron Curtain, and now it is still special as the second to have continuosly featured in the F1 race calendar. Groupama Technical Driving Center The Groupama Technical Driving Center has been welcoming customers to the Hungaroring since 1998, with driving courses, a motorbike course, an off-road centre and a children’s traffic park.Experienced instructors assist with training sessions focusing on accident prevention.   Nyitvatartás 2024. február 1-től március 15-ig technikai szünetet tartunk, mely alatt épülünk, szépülünk, hogy újult erővel nyissuk meg kapunkat és fogadjuk visszatérő és új vendégeinket a 2024-es szezonban. Jegyárak ……………………. hungaroring.hu tanpalya.hu +36 28 444 444 office@hungaroring.hu Description Incredibly, the Hungaroring was the venue for the 38th Hungarian Grand Prix in 2023 – and perhaps it’s a good time to indulge in a little nostalgia. We can recall Nelson Piquet’s victory – in the first race, in front of three hundred thousand (!) spectators. We can remember Nigel Mansell (who always celebrated his birthday with us and was once presented with a horse called Scala) losing his wheel from the lead – and the race (1987). We can recall Damon Hill’s great misfortune (“Where’s Damon Hill?!”), when a technical error on the last lap cost him victory (1997), or the great battles between Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna. Jenson Button’s victory in the rain (his first) is as much a part of the history of the track and the sport as Michael Schumacher’s four or Lewis Hamilton’s eight Hungarian race wins – the British record holder. Today it is history, but at the time it was a great feat (and there are hardly any similar examples in the world) that the Hungaroring was built in record time, eight months, and it was thanks to this that the 1st Hungarian Grand Prix was held on 10 August 1986. The track was rebuilt twice afterwards – first in 1989 (the triple chicane was removed from the track) and then in 2003. The latter was a major change: the target straight was lengthened and turns 1, 12 and 14 were changed. The length of the track was originally 4,014 metres, then reduced to 3,975 metres, and for more than 15 years the world’s top drivers have been racing on a 4,381-metre track. Our track is dusty, our racing is hot – that’s the first thing you say when asked about the Hungarian race. Immediately afterwards, he adds that, from the drivers’ point of view, this is one of the toughest races of the season. It’s a challenge to win on our technical, twisty track, which is not full of straights – it took Sebastian Vettel, one of the best drivers of the modern era, nine years to win at the Hungaroring in 2015, but he won again in 2017.  Among the many modern, uniformed circuits, the Hungaroring represents tradition – a classic style that has now become very much appreciated. The drivers and teams love to come here. “The valley and the scenery are very beautiful, and the proximity to the city is loved by everyone, without exception. And the track… Well, we resurfaced it in 2016, and this is just the first step of the planned improvements,” says Zsolt Gyulay, CEO of Hungaroring Sport Zrt. He says the Formula 1 field and crew are clear and good to work with – simply because they are easy to work with. “Everyone is very disciplined here, and that’s basically what motorsport is. On the other hand, it also requires professionalism to know that we are part of the most watched, if not the most watched, racing series in the world, which is as much an obligation for the drivers as it is for the host countries,” adds Gyulay. Although the Hungarian Touring Car World Cup or the European Truck Championship is almost as challenging as F1, the Hungaroring team preparing for the 37th Hungarian Grand Prix is not only using the experience it has gained over the past decades within the walls of the track.  Back to the Hungarian Grand Prix. It is worth mentioning that our race has never been under threat in the past decades, and once (in 2002) it won the Race of the Year Award, which was presented at the International Association’s year-end gala, and in 2020 the closed-door Hungaroring race was the most-watched race of the season on television.  As an integral part of the track’s history, the Hungaroring was the first Hungarian to drive a Formula 1 car (Csaba Kesjár, who died in a tragic racing accident in 1987 testing the Zakspeed), and the first Formula 1 race of his career was completed here by Zsolt Baumgartner (2003 – Jordan), who, after Ralph Firman’s accident and injury, got his chance to run a full season at Minardi the following year. There are currently no Hungarian drivers in the Formula 1 World Championship series, but the Hungarian Grand Prix, which has a contract until 2027, has been a key fixture on the calendar for decades.

Eco Art Gallery and Shop

Inspired upcycling Eco Art Gallery and Shop is the first place in Hungary that draws attention to sustainability and environmental protection through contemporary artworks. The uniqueness of the eco art creators is that they are able to create artistic works from any discarded, forgotten material with creativity and professional knowledge. In the Eco Art Gallery and Shop, opened in the Round Bastion of the Royal Castle of Gödöllő, we prove that there is no lost material, the aesthetic and artistic value lies in everything, you just have to lure it out! By visiting here you can admire and buy the unique sculptures, small sculptures, jewelry, and consumer and design products of nearly 50 Hungarian artists. We welcome individual and group visitors. Guided tour in the world of recycling is available upon registration.   The Eco Art Gallery and Shop exhibition is free to view. Opening hours Wednesday – Sunday: 10.00 – 18.00 Prices www.ecoartgaleria.com +36 20 406 4554 info@ecoartgaleria.com Description In the Eco Art Gallery and Shop, opened in the Bastion of the Royal Castle of Gödöllő, we prove that there is no lost material, there is aesthetic and artistic value in everything, you just have to lure it out… eco art creators are capable of this! You will see how a bicycle gear can be turned into a wall clock, a car engine into a table, and pebbles into enchanting images. Scrap metal, screws, and nails come to life as sculptures. A discarded soup spoon is transformed into a bird, a knife into a bracelet, and a fork into a coat hanger. Driftwood looks good on the living room wall, but a backpack made from a fire hose is also cool. Eco art is the meeting of art, environmentally conscious thinking, talent, creativity, and the desire to create, which creates unique works of art and objects of use with a serious message. Eco art, trash art, upcycling, scrap-metal art, and trash-design works have in common that they are attention-grabbing, and attitude-shaping and also, they draw attention to environmental problems with playful and often humorous elements and messages. These artistic trends show the perversity of the “everything is disposable” attitude – in other words the consumer society – and are reactions to it, having the aim of general attitude shaping. In addition, they also show an example of the beauty and value inherent in discarded, seemingly “worthless” materials. The creators give new meaning and new life to the material.
