Cannot miss once you visited Zebegeny. This cozy little village located by the Danube bend and has a lot to offer. Mostly for hikers and nature lovers, but the this Monument is beautiful and a must see. You can read here about the Trianon Treaty, which is probably the saddest event of Hungary. Definately gonna come back! Probably during spring.

The National and Heroes' Monument is located on Calvary Hill in Zebegeny, from the train station it is a ten minute walk passed the little white church of Our Lady of the Snows. From the information boards at the monument we read that it was constructed after WW1 as a memorial to 'our national tragedy'. The Country flag movement was born in 1925 out of national grief from the judgement handed down in the Treaty of Triannon in January 1919. We were just passing through on our hike between Zebegeny and Nagymaros through the Borzsony Hills on the National Blue Trail when we stopped at the monument and sat in the shade of the trees on the stairs and ate our lunch with views of the Danube.
