Gyermekvasut (Children's Railway) Gyermekvasut (Children's Railway) No Data

Description


Built by the communist equivalent of the scouts and guides it is still run almost exclusively by Children (There are one or two adult supervisors at the stations and adults drive the trains but apart from that children do all the rest). The line snakes its way through the Buda hills taking in some stunning scenery. With good public transport connections at either end you can just go one way rather than having to book a return journey and retrace your steps.
