Maybe for people coming from Holland or other coastal countries, a
windmill does not belong among spectacular things to look at. To my
surprise, in the second half of XIX. century windmills were not a
rarity in Hungary either, nearly 900 hundred operated at that time!
Nowadays only about a dozen of windmills can be found in Hungary,
mainly between Danube and Tisza rivers.
Originally, it was quite an adventure to grab the box since it
was hidden inside the mill, on its top level and the stairs were
completely missing thus you had to climb up to the 3rd store.
In the summer 2007 the mill was closed and within half a year
restored but after that it is not accessible by the public anymore.
As far as the information is correct, nowadays it serves as bird
observing site.
So I had to find a new place for the cache and since nearby is a
nice chapel the decision was easy. Especially after discovering
that the chapel has a rear door where -in front of the door- the
surrounding walls are richly covered by ivy.
Approach:
1. From Szeged-Hódmezovásárhely-Szentes: leaving Martfu turn
right at N 47° 01,968', E 20° 17,563' to Kengyel.
2. From Budapest-Cegléd-Szolnok: leaving Szolnokot turn left
from road 442 at N 47° 04,547', E 20° 14,770'.
Warning: this is a dirty road, from about a halfway in bad
condition, thus you had better to proceed up to Martfu's turning
point (see above) and turn left there.
3. From Debrecen: go to Törökszentmiklós, in its center turn
left to the road 46 leading to Mezotúr and then at N 47° 09,970', E
20° 25,694' turn right to Kengyel. After passing Kengyel, you
arrive to the mill from opposite side as from approach 1. or 2.
