This is going to be a record short travelogue, but it shows off such a spectacular Hungarian landscape that enjoying every view of it will take some time and you cannot just flick through it in a few seconds. Eight years ago we visited Szrvaskő, a village that used to belong to nearby Eger, where then the double Bzmot railcars were running up and down the track all day, often extended with one or two unpowered trailers. You could take as many photos a day as you can nowadays in a week. Our planning would have allowed us to take all these shots even in a nice, sunny weather because of careful planning but with this much hue and contrast it wasn't even necessary.

We got to Szarvaskő with the first train - until the first photo we had ample time to play some pool in the local bar before we climbed the Szarvaskő castle for the first shooting. The rest of the photos needed a lot more climbing in areas that tested our shoes and dexterity to the limits. Sometimes it even has been dangerous.

The photo has been taken between the open line and the Szarvaskő II. tunnel in an authentic mountainous secondary line scenery .

When we celebrated the 100th jubilee of the line they promised to reconstruct the railway and improve the conditions of tourism. Only a horse driving trials stadium was built which absolutely stands out in the national park area and is totally useless.

At the same time we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Szilvásvárad Forestry Railway (a 76 cm narrow-gauge logging railway) as well.

Baked blood with onion is the menu in Szarvaskő village but the only thing bringing us down from the lookout is the coming of the evening. In the meantime I recommend my photos of the track all along to Putnok, most of which is out of use now:

We weren't kidding when we alled it one of the most beautiful railways of Hungary!
