★ Has its own city story
Eger is a baroque town of churches and a minaret, the northernmost Ottoman minaret in Europe. Its castle was defended in 1552 by a small garrison, with the help of the town's women, against a huge Ottoman army. The Mátra hills, with Hungary's highest peak, are good for walks. Holloko, in a neighbouring county, is a village on the UNESCO list.
