This videos chronicles our adventures during our 2nd day in the Badacsony area. Szigliget is a small town close to Badacsonytomaj. The Szigliget Castle ruins lie on top of the hill which is overseeing the small little town. Although its only the ruins of a once thriving castle, they were recently renovated, showcasing what life once was among the walls of the castle that are standing there for 800 years. But the real reason to visit this place is for the amazing views and scenes you get from looking over the walls.
As many people are visiting the castle ruins, an IceCream shop and Cafe operates at the bottom of the hill, and they serve Amazing IceCream! Plus some nice local handcraft items can be bought here as well.
Next we went to nearby mountain of Szentgyörgy. The region is famous for it’s wine, and this mountain also hosts many vineyards. We went to Szászi Estate Viridarium Restaurant where we recharged with some excellent lunch, and then we checked out a nearby little chapel called Lengyel Kápolna. After this we moved over to the other side of the mountain to try and hike up to some unique geological formations also known as Basalt Organs. It was a tough trip, but definately worth the experience.
Finally after returning to our place of stay in Badacsonytomaj, we went for a wine tasting at the FATA Cellar, then ending the day with some dinner.
