With the Zemplén forest - home to lynx and golden eagle -to the north and the expanses of the Alföld to the south, the Tokaj wine-region of north-east Hungary produces some of the world's very finest wines, long acclaimed by princes, popes and poets. Magnificent scenery, pretty villages, historic castles, ancient churches, baroque mansions, rolling hills with immaculate vineyards - that this is a World Heritage Site should come as no surprise, and the enthusiasm and energy with which its international reputation was regained after the communist years cannot fail to impress. Read about it, go there and enjoy!
