Access: When coming from road 10, from the direction of
Budapest, pass the railway-crossing at Nyergesújfalu and turn left
in front of the Lukoil petrol station, and then proceed until you
reach the indicated parking area. You can go up to the hilltop in
about 10 minutes. Place of the box: The kitchen box of 20 cm
x 15 cm x 6 cm dimensions is hidden in a bush on the top of the
hill.
Story of the box: The name of Nyergesújfalu was first
mentioned as Nyergedszeg in the chronicle of Simon Kézai in the
writing form around 1280. On the Sánc-mountain near to the village,
even the Roman had built a significant fort, ruins of which were
fortified later by the troops of Rákóczi, but on 28th September,
1706, the fort was occupied and destroyed by the pro-Austrian
soldiers. Today only the foundations covered with soil of the
fortification can be seen.
