 Jona Potakivanoch, Siastok. Hello ladies and gentlemen and thank you for joining me. Today I'm in the southern suburbs of the Hungarian city of Zalaregeasek. About three years ago I did a video where I explored the city centre. So if you want to see what the city centre looks like then have a look at the link on screen now. What we're going to do in today's video is we're heading, as I said, into the southern suburbs. We're going to head right out into the countryside to have a look at that. That is the Zalaregeasek TV tower. It's the tower which, you know, is used for broadcasting all local TV signals but you can go up it. So we're going to go up there, we're going to see the views, so we're going to continue walking out of the city into the woods. We're going to go and see the views all over County Zala. So I'm on my way up to the TV tower. I've just made a slight detour because they've opened this new sport and activity park just on the edge of Zalaregeasek. It's quite interesting. You don't have to pay to go in but once you're in you choose which activities you want to do. So I'm actually going to do any activities today but I just thought it'd be an interesting place to show you. So obviously you've got various different exercises here. Over there is a, like what we in England call Go Ape where, you know, where you climb in the trees. Interestingly as a zip wire that comes from that tree there right across. So there you land on that yellow, you climb up a ladder up there and then you go right the way back across over there. So that looks like fun. But I'm not going to do that today, although that does sound like fun thing to do. So there we are, it's called the Osho Airdy Sport. Osho Airdy Sport, that's the other name. So basically that translates to sport, obviously a sport and activity. Osho Airdy is the name of the forest. Osho means lower. So we're in the lower part of the forest. A few times I've filmed trains at a village called Osho Nemeshaparsi. Have a look at the link on screen now. So that means Osho, again it's the lower. There's also a village called Nemeshaparsi which is higher. Look at this, this is exciting. Well, no one's using it but it's a dry ski slope. It's there. So you can have a beer and have some food if you wish to. There's a deer there made out of wood, got a nice statue. There's go-karts, seemingly not just for children, there's adults having a car, I don't think a couple are there. I'll tell you what they do need here, they need a miniature railway. They're the miniature railway, that'd be really exciting. Anyway, they haven't, maybe they will one day. So what we're going to do now, and there's a map of the park. So yeah, it's worth, this is about, I'm pretty about a mile away from where I first started the video. So a couple of miles from Zalarege, I think, city centre. So it's worth a visit this place and if you look out there, you can just see up on the hill the TV tower. So we need to cross the road and go up through the forest to find the TV tower. So I've now left the road and I've come into this very peaceful valley. It's called the Ozalias Volge, which means in English the valley of the Azalias or the Azalias valley. It's not really the right time of year to come here, but if you were to come here in spring, the Azalias would be all in blue. People obviously come here, have barbecues, have picnics, and here we are, some of the Azalias I think up here. And there's a few rhododendrons, so probably this is the wrong time of year to come here, but if you were to come here in spring, it would probably be looking ahead of us. It'd be a complete riot of colours, it's just all lots of different creams at the moment. It would be all the different flowers, I expect to look really nice. So I'm going to continue on walking up up to the TV tower. I've been walking for about half an hour now climbing up through the forest. It's a bit, I had to kind of guess the way a bit. I didn't have a map of the area, so I just sort of used my sense of direction and eventually I came to this, appears to be a very quiet road, well I've not seen anything or anyone come along here, but we appear to have found the tower. There it is, a rather few cars, I think there's a road out on the other side, which is probably going to be the route I'm going to take back down to Zara Geseg town centre. So let's go and have a closer look. So it's built in the mid 70s, I believe it's 330 feet tall. So yeah, quite to, I'm not sure if that's the top of the, there's the viewing gallery and the top of the actual structure and on top there's another aerial, so I'm not sure if the 330 feet is the top of the aerial or the top of the structure. I have a few years ago, I went up the one, there's another one in Page which is Hungary's fifth largest city up on the hills above Page. There's the Page TV tower and that one is the tallest building in Hungary. I remember sitting up there, well I remember I went in the cafe and I went in the toilet, I remember thinking of everyone in Hungary, no one is using a toilet higher up Nijam at the moment. So that's the tallest building in Hungary, so that's obviously taller than this one. I think this one, there is a huge difference in height, but that one is taller. See all these stairs going up rounder outside, but I don't think we get to walk up then. It's quite a brutalist structure. Yeah, so there's cars, a few cars parked there, so I expect, yeah you could come by car. I think you can come by bus as well there's a road not too far if you were to walk off down there, but I suppose now we're here. The obvious thing to do is go inside and go up, because I should think the views from up there are going to be pretty spectacular. So let's go back to the front again, have a look. It's like a sort of balcony bit coming out here. I think there's some facts there about the tower, but it's all in Hungarian, so if I can understand the tower, have a look. I can't pick out anything obvious. Oh look, 1971, so I think that's when construction started in 1971. Tripping. So that goes in there. I don't think we can go up this one, just come up here to have a look. Yeah, so that's closed off. That'd be quite fun to walk all the way up on the outside, but I think we're going to go in a lift. So if we go to the tower, I expect someone there and I'll just say a room lift. I think it's the one as you go and lift when you get to the top you pay, so that it costs 450 for rent, so that's not a lot of money. That's probably around a couple of pounds. Open from 11 to 8. Minden nap, that means every day. Knot is day. Knot is also the sun and today you could say it's naposh. It's a sunny day. So let's go in the lift and go up to the top of the TV tower. I've come up to the top of the lift, get our first glimpse of the view now, but I'll probably look in a minute because what happens is that the cafe up here, if we go around here so that cafe effectively is free to visit, you can come here, have a drink, as you can hear lots of people are. It's here to go to here. We're actually going down so we're kind of right in the middle of the tower now. This is quite exciting. We're going to go down to an outdoor viewing gallery. That's been got paid to go along. Look, there's the workings of the lift there. Look, that's the back of the lift which we just came up on. So if someone was to go down in the lift we'd see that. Yeah, it's a long way down. So, oh I see, so we come down here. Look at that. I wonder if I can walk all the way down a bit or not. Okay, so I'll get to here. And here's the view. It's supposed to be obviously the Alps in the distance. I'm trying to think which way the Alps would be. Probably be that way. But anyway, that's the forest. Oh, I can see the park down there. Well, early on I said that there's the TV tower. So, we were down there. We've come up. That's the Azalea Valley. I came right up there through the trees to up here. Forget to hear. It's going to be a bit windy. Let's sit down with what you can see and what you can't see. There we go. So, I guess a town centre. So, what can we see? So, yeah, the railway station's down there somewhere. An area there that's known as the Garden City. Somewhere over the hills that way. Quite a few miles away. It's like Balaton. Look at this. You don't normally get this close to these. Disps. You know, that's like a dish. I feel like dishes. We're about 30 miles from the Slovenian border. That's what I'm going to do. I can see there's people down at a lower level. I'm going to go back in. I'm going to go down there and see what I can find down there. I've now come down to the lower level. I've just found out from just talking to someone. My platform there is for bungee jumping. And you would go off. And I'm not even going to put my arm with my camera over the edge to show you about. You get the picture. It'd be going according a long way. It's, um, I wouldn't I'd never do it, but it's not something that high on my list. Here's those, some of those, uh, giant like dishes. I said it feels strange to be this close to them. That's the deck. I was on alone a minute ago. It was a little bit windy yesterday. You see lovely is like a roof. Well, that is where the cafe is actually higher up. So I'm going to go up there now and have a drink and have a milder view from having a drink. And we're back down on the ground. Suddenly feels a bit warmer. Not really, really warm, but just warmer. Because it was air conditioned in the cafe up there and of course outside. It was windy. I had a had a really, really nice ice coffee right up there in that cafe, which was very, very nice. I didn't record any video in there because there's quite a few people in there and they had the radio on. And, you know, sometimes songs appearing in the background of YouTube videos can interfere and you get in trouble for copyright reasons. So I didn't record in there, but, you know, we saw the views. So yeah, there it is above us. I'm now going to follow the path out of here and pick up the road, walk back down to Zala Regaesec. So I hope you've enjoyed this video. There's three of these TV Towers which you can visit. So there's one in Page which I mentioned and I have been up that one. That's the tallest building in Hungary. The other one, and I really should go there, is at Martra Furet, which is, well, it's basically East, the Budapest. And you can get to that one by Narragay Railway. So I'm not quite sure I haven't been to that one, but anyway, I haven't as of yet, but I'm sure I will at some point and I'll go to Page at some point. So there's three of these TV Towers in Hungary which you can visit. So there is a moment ago we were right up there. I hope you enjoyed this video. Thank you very much for watching. If you'd like to come and visit, you can even do the walk I did. It's a pleasant walk, but quite a long walk or you can get one or two of the buses that can't be here. So from outside the TV Tower in Zala Regaesec, thank you very much for watching. Please do feel free to like, subscribe and comment. Goodbye. Vis-en-Plaet-Astra.
