Special destination - Ipolytarnóc Fossils

Most tourists visit the capital city first, and that is usually the place where the journey ends. Many other destinations remain undiscovered. If you stay a little longer, you might want to see something different after exploring the city of Budapest - places not featured in travel brochures. I do not want this blog to be a site where travel destinations are advertised, but this one is my childhood favourite, probably unknown to many Hungarians too. The following website is dedicated to the Ipolytarnóc Fossils Nature Reserve: http://web.kvvm.hu/ipolytarnoc/index.php?p=en_home Ipolytarnóc is a small village situated 140 kilometers North East of Budapest in Nógrád County. This site is Hungarian only, but has many pictures and if you skim through the pages, I think it might give you a glimpse of the village - so let the images speak for themselves: http://www.falvak.hu/falu.php?falunev=ipolytarnoc/&a=/var/www/www.falvak.hu/ipolytarnoc
