Geocache Description:

Orczy Garden laying in the heart of Budapest, near Nagyvárad squre. Lots of faculty, and programs wait for those who walk out there. There is another cache also in this park, but the working method of it is the best I have ever seen. (I just translate). I am sorry i cant tell anymore.. Let'go!

Baron Lorinc Orczy bought the field for Orczy-Garden in 1783. After his death the second son started to make the biggest, and the most beatiful english-garden of Pest. Simplicity, and mirror of the nature was an important aim. The park was finished finally at the end of the last century, and open for the public. In 1829 the army get it, and basic changes happend. Between 1830-1837 Hungarian Army Education Cenre callad Mária Ludovika (from the queen) was built by the plan of Mihály Pollack. later it is Academica Ludovika, Kossuth Academica. Originally the territory was 33ha, but for the end it is only 14ha. The park is a "green memory" in Budapest, where increasingly run out from the green fields.A small lake is located in the middle for fishing, gymnastic, and, running lane. football, basketball, tennis area.The Natural History Museum is an other interesting program for all the family.The CACHE:it is located in a busy area, so be careful when you are logging. (that is one of the most important thing.) The cache is a 30*10cm metal whisky box. A tree cover it, but a custodian is seenig after it. Test the forbearig possibility of the security guard:)At first (with care) pull up, that finally unhook it.
