Among the former palaces of the most important duke families (Kismarton, Fertőd, Keszthely) and the beaches of Lake Neusiedl and Lake Balaton (Rust, Mörbisch, Keszthely) there is a whole range of adventure and thermal baths (Balf, Hegykő, 13 Sárvár, Borgáta, Zalaszentgrót, Hévíz) offering possibilities for a little recreation, while the secrets of nature are revealed by visitor centres (Neusiedl-Hanság NP – Sarród, Vulkán Park – Celldömölk, House of Nature – Gyenesdiás). The entire route is 180 km long, but it can be completed in stages. The route leads on bike road between Kismarton and Fertőd, than between 13 Fertőd and Hévíz mostly on agricultural roads or on low-traffic roads, while on the final part until Keszthely cycling road comes again that SÁRVÁR CELLDÖMÖLK ends at the Balaton Bike Route. Forrás: nyugat.hu 13 HÉVÍZ 4 www.wbbike.hu CYCLING ROUTE GYŐR – BALATONFÜRED 1st day: Győr – Zirc (72 km) 2nd day: Zirc – Veszprém – Balatonfüred (58 km) The starting point of the tour is Győr, which lies at the meeting of four rivers. The Pannonhalma Archabbey is only 20 km far from here. The millennial Benedictine monastery has been part of the World Heritage since 1996. In the wooded countryside of Bakony, along the steeply ri- sing road the ruins of Csesznek standing on the cliff offer a magnificent view. In the heart of the Bakony, in Zirc we can have an insight into PANNONHALMA the life of another important order, the Cistercians living here for 800 24 years. In Veszprém, the city of the Queens, the earliest castle of Hun- gary can be found, while the city itself is our first bishopric residence. From here we ride downhill through the Balaton Uplands to Balaton- füred, the town with atmosphere of the Reform era. CSESZNEK The entire route is 130 km long, but it can be completed in stages. The tour connects the „city of rivers” with the “Hungarian Sea” via beautiful ZIRC landscapes, on low-traffic roads. Due to the higher level difference and the curving roads, it is recommended to more advanced bikers. 24 VESZPRÉM Photo: Balatonfüredi Turisztikai Egyesület Photo: www.zirc.hu Photo: www.zirc.hu Photo: Hirling Bálint www. wbbike.hu 5 Kerékpáros ruha és alkatrész bolt.

  • 17TH FINA WORLD MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS BUDAPEST and BALATONFURED (HUN) 7-20 August 2017 Entry Booklet Version: 28 March 2017
    17TH FINA WORLD MASTERS CHAMPIONSHIPS BUDAPEST AND BALATONFURED (HUN) 7-20 August 2017 Entry Booklet Version: 28 March 2017 WELCOMING ADDRESSES MESSAGE FROM THE FINA PRESIDENT Dear Friends, It is my great pleasure to welcome the Masters Family to the 17th FINA World Masters Championships 2017, to take place from August 7 - 20, 2017 in Budapest (HUN). This is the second time this competition is held in conjunction with the FINA World Championships, also staged in the Magyar capital from July 14 - 30. Our hosts are ready to deliver a great event and will provide the best possible conditions to the thousands of participants in this competition. This will certainly reinforce the traditional values of the Masters Move- ment – friendship, understanding and fitness. This significant change – introduced since the 2015 edition in Kazan (RUS) - gave additional visibility to the Masters athletes and allows, for many of them, to witness the performances of the elite stars in the pool. This major event – in fact, the biggest championships organised by FINA in terms of participation – is certainly a milestone for those who devoted part of their lives to their passion for one of the five FINA disciplines: swimming, diving, water polo, synchronised swimming and open water swimming. With the FINA World Masters Championships, we want to prove that even when retired from the high level competition, or just practicing sport for leisure, our athletes are still capable to delight us with their performances. Thousands of athletes, from 25 years old up to 90 or more, confirm that the aquatic vocation is still there no matter the age.

  • Masonic Works in the Helikon Library of the Festetics Palace in Keszthely
    Anna Tüskés Masonic Works in the Helikon Library of the Festetics Palace in Keszthely Books were very important for the Festetics family settled down in Keszthely in the second half of the 1740s: the bookstore had been created in Kristóf Fest- etics’s palace.1 From 1782 Count György Festetics (I.) had been the lord of the entail, he was one of the most outstanding personalities of the Hungarian En- lightenment and had a whole annexe built to his library between 1799–1801.2 The library room can be found with a small adjoining cabinet library in the south wing of the palace. In the many ten thousand-volume library can equally be found works of antique authors, Hungarian literature and science, philo- sophical literature from the era of Enlightenment, the latest economic studies at the time of acquisition, as well as a significant newspaper and journal mate- rial. The library of Keszthely is a baronial library so the collection of books and the motivation of reading were combined when the books were purchased.3 György Festetics studied at the Collegium Theresianum in Vienna between 1768–1775.4 He had well-trained Jesuit teachers, such as the professor of philos- ophy, Italian language and agronomics, Lajos Mitterpacher, the mathematician and physicist Pál Makó, the professor of Italian language, civil and military architecture, János Izzo, the poet, bibliographer, insect expert Michael Denis and many others.5 During his studies, Festetics perfectly learned German, Latin, French, Italian and English.

    ANNALES MUSEI HISTORICO-NATURALIS HUNGARICI Volume 108 Budapest, 2016 pp. 151–220 A Természettudományi Múzeum és 1956. A Nemzeti Múzeumban pusztító tűzvész előzményei, körülményei és következményei Hidas Gyula (1905–1956) tűzoltó főtörzsőrmester emlékének, valamennyi, az oltásban részt vett tűzoltó tiszteletére Papp Gábor Magyar Természettudományi Múzeum, Ásvány- és Kőzettár, 1083 Budapest, Ludovika tér 2. [email protected] Összefoglalás – A Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum (MNM) központi épületében a Rádió körüli har- cok következményeként 1956. október 24-e és 26-a között pusztító két nagy tűzvész az MNM Természettudományi Múzeumnak az épületben működő részlegeit (Ásvány- és Kőzettár, Föld- és Őslénytár), valamint az Afrika-kiállítást nagyrészt elpusztította. A tanulmány bemutatja az épület- ben lévő osztályok és kiállítások tűzvész előtti elhelyezkedését, időrendben áttekinti az épület kö- rüli harcokat és a múzeumi tüzeket, illetve a tűzoltóságnak ezek elfojtása során végzett munkáját. Ezután tárgyalja a fegyveres felkelők és a katonai alakulatok múzeumbeli tevékenységéről fellelt adatokat, és részletesen taglalja a tűz okát és bizonyos körülményeit. Áttekinti a tűzről megjelent korabeli híreket, majd az esemény tálalását a politikai propagandában. Ezután ismerteti a tűzese- tekről megjelent tudósításokat, valamint a károk számszerűsíthető adatait, illetve táblázatban közli az Ásvány- és Kőzettár elpusztult nyilvántartásainak rekonstruált listáját. A tanulmány végén lévő függelékben egy táblázat található az MNM épületében keletkezett tüzeknek a Rádió körüli ese- ményekkel párhuzamosított kronológiájával. Kulcsszavak – 1956-os forradalom, Afrika-kiállítás, Ásvány- és Kőzettár, Föld- és Őslénytár, Ma- gyar Nemzeti Múzeum, Magyar Rádió, múzeumtörténet, Természettudományi Múzeum BEVEZETÉS 1956-ban a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum Természettudományi Múzeum (a továb- biakban TTM) egyes tárai – mint már akkor 64 éve és azóta is – Budapest külön- böző pontjain voltak, így az 1956.
