River Danube and the floods in Budapest Pest, Budapest, Hungary
By DlNO on 26-Dec-19. Waypoint GC8H8QT

#18131 - 6:56:00 PM; Day 7 of the European Road Trip and another day to explore Budapest. Noticed this cache wasn't too far from the wharf where we had set off on a river cruise, so when we returned, I set off to collect the required information for this cache. Answers have been sent off to the CO to get the OK. Greetings from Australia. TFTE DINO

During my trip to Budapest, I also explored this earthcache. Flood is always horrific- then and now. It‘s a destroying force of nature. All answers are sent to the owner.

Thanks for working this out!

Late this afternoon we visited the site for this earthcache. The required data was collected and the answers have been sent to the CO. The required photo is included with this log. Thanks DINO for the cache.

Bereits am17.4. waren wir in Budapest und konnten auch diesen interessanten Earth Cache machen. Wir hoffen, dass alle Fragen richtig beantwortet wurden.

Danke dafür sagen

This week I am in the beautiful Budapest for a Dutch-Hungarian exchange. In between activities, I found a few caches in this great city. I wanted to find an Earthcache as well, and before I hopped into a boat for a trip on the Danube I answered the questions needed for this Earthcache. DlNO, thanks for teaching me about these happenings in the history of Budapest!

TFTC!

THE CACHE:

Found @ 14:18

One of the geocaches logged during today's walk around Donau.

Have sent in answers for both LHCper and Kråkan.

THE TRIP:

Me and Kråkan travelled from Sweden down to Budapest for a 5 day Easter Geocaching vacation. Took a WizzAir flight from Stockholm Skavsta to Budapest. Did arrive on good Friday evening and went back home the same way on Wednesday 12th.

We did stay at central hotel (Silver Hotel Budapest City Center) and had various subtrips planned, including the Challenge trail, the Puzzle trail and the Earth Cache trail. Also walked around a lot in central Budapest - mainly the Pest part - and close to Donau, and logged caches and ALC steps.

Budapest is a nice city - grand is a good word to describe it - although the weight of the history is a bit heavy at times. It does have an excellent systems of trams, metro and busses, and the Budapest Go app worked well. Did seldom have to wait more than just a few minutes at any stop. Scenic views are plenty on the Buda side.

The weather was a bit cold. According to a Swede living here claimed it was the coldest Easter he had experienced. Did warm a bit in the end. At least the flowers and plants had come a bit further along, compared to home where there was still snow when we left.

Me and LHCper went from Sweden to geocache in Budapest during easter. Our last day we walked by the Danube and tried to get as many geocaches as possible. We found over 100 geocaches and if a got it right 32 of them was Earthcaches.

Visited during 4-days trip in Wien and Budapest...thanks for the cache

Found during my 5-day trip to Budapest Hungary. I decided to spent my Easter holiday in this beautiful town. I like visiting other cities and countries.

We visited this cache during our trip to Hungary.

We have some experience with floods from both Cesky Krumlov and Prague, it was interesting to learn more about floods in Budapest.

Druhý den našeho velikonocního výletu do Budapešti. Zastavili jsme se pro pár vybraných kousku.

Když jsme procházeli kolem Dunaje, tak jsme si nemohli tuhle EC nechat ujít. U nás máme taky stopy po záplavách. Vltava i Labe se párkrát vylili z brehu docela vysoko.

Díky za zemekeš!

The second day of our Easter trip to Budapest. We stopped to pick up a few choice pieces.

Húsvéti budapesti kirándulásunk második napja. Megálltunk, hogy felvegyünk néhány válogatott darabot.





Köszönjük a rejtekhelyet!

I arrived and in Budapest this morning after taking the night train from Bra?ov, Romania. Budapest is a great city and plenty of caches to do. The weather was pretty good as well. Thanks for the caches.

Searched for and found some caches during a short holiday. There were some great hiding places.

Thanks toDlNO for laying and maintaining the boxes, say the 4Hellmis.

I really enjoyed learning about the flooding from the Danube and seeing the markers of the water levels. I have sent the answers to the CO and attached a picture of me near GZ.
