Székely Days In Central Market Hall Budapest

Many years ago I travelled around Transylvania and discovered it to be one of the most beautiful places you will find in this part of the world. At the weekend, the Central Market Hall was briefly transformed into Transylvania.

Visitors had the chance to acquaint themselves with traditional gastronomy, homemade crafts, food delicacies and the culture of these warm and friendly Transylvanian people. This was the 6th Transylvanian Days in association with Felcsík Association.

Felcsík is a colourful and rich area due to its natural resources and cultural heritage. The scenic environment, untouched landscape and the villages between Hargita and Alps „Csíki” have kept the ambience of this marvelous area.

On my original trip to Transylvania we could not help but try and find some brown bears…but to no avail. This time the chance of seeing a brown bear in the Central Market Hall was quite remote but the feeling of this wonderful part of the world still filtered through.
