Kékestető, Mátra, (Hungary), beautiful mountain with healing places.

The Matra is a mountain range in northern Hungary, between the towns Gyongyos and Eger. The country's highest peak, Kekesteto (1014 m), belongs to this mountain range. There's lookout tower. It's a very popular hiking destination. There are buses frequently from Gyongyos, Eger, Budapest as well to different destinations in Matra. The other important destinations are the following: Galyateto with the Galya Outlook Tower, Matraszentistvan with the Voros ko lookout tower, Pisztrangos lake near Kekesteto, Matrahaza beautiful little village, Paradsasvar with Palace hotel, Parad with Paradfurdo and Paradohuta are little villages where the famous curative alum-iron water is. I tried it. It was immediately a good effect to my stomach. I recommend it. There are different types of healing water in the village. Sour water with sulfur bicarbonate is effective in the case of stomach and intestinal diseases, diabetes, pancreatic and bile diseases, chronic constipation, and catarrhal symptoms (respiratory-urinary catarrh). At the southeastern end of Paradohuta, on the edge of the forest, there is the source of iron-lithium-containing sour water (Clarissa spring), which increases the temperature of the body with its carbonic acid content, accelerates blood circulation, and is important in blood formation due to its iron content. In the beautiful Ilona valley there is an other spring, Szent Istvan-csevice well. I did several nice hikes here in this mountain. #centraleurope #mountain #spring #thermalbath #forest #lookout_tower
