For lovers of peace and space.
A spacious and very comfortable house in a quiet village, peace, nice people, beautiful nature, hiking trails, many nice eateries, delicious wines, beautiful towns, beautiful Budapest and of course Lake Balaton.
Behind the house is a spacious barn with garden furniture and between the house and barn is a spacious and light roof.
The garden is sheltered on all sides, with various places to sit in and out of the sun or wind. There is a swimming pool for children. The site continues for about two hundred metres.
POSSIBILITIES IN THE AREA
There is a shop in the village. The opening hours are on the door. For larger groceries you can go to Veszprem. In the city itself there are many shops and markets. On the ring road (north-east) there are also a Tesco, Spar, Aldi, Lidl and an OBI and many other large stores.
From Hidegkut you can go to Lake Balaton by car, but you can also stay in this quiet area and enjoy a nice walk.
A bike ride around Lake Balaton is also recommended!
You can swim in many places on the lake. There is often an entrance fee of about 2 euros, but you will also find neat toilets and showers.
There are also restaurants everywhere, where you can go very reasonably for little money.
Budapest is of course a beautiful city to visit. You can go from Veszprem by train or by road - don't forget to check whether your vignette is valid.
You can ride horses in many places. The Tihany peninsula is wonderful for a visit, although very touristy. Spread over the country there are several places with thermal baths.
THE VILLAGE ITSELF
Hidegkut is located on the northeastern tip of Lake Balaton in a quiet valley. The stream flows through the hills and forests to Lake Balaton.
Hidegkut has about 450 inhabitants. That is less than before, but it has been growing again in recent years. Many young people with children come to live here.
Relatively speaking, there are also many older people, many of German descent. This is often the case in northwestern Hungary. Hidegkut - it means cold well or cold well - is one of about 300 villages populated with Catholic Swabia Deutschen by the Habsburg emperors in the 18th century, because the country had become very empty after the Turkish rule. As a result, the main street also has a characteristic structure as you will find in many of those villages: separate houses next to each other with a strip of land behind them. They used the lands around the village together, and at home they had cattle and a vegetable garden. Everyone had a few cows, one or two horses, pigs, chickens and goats. You can still see that in the structure of the yard. Now there is not a single farmer in the village.
There is service every Sunday in the church. The shop is open from 06:00 to 12:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00. On Saturdays it is open from 06:00 to 12:00. You can get all the necessary things for living there.
There is a palinka distillery at the end of the village. In the Hosszu Utca there is a selling point of goat cheese.
The nearest gas station is in Nemesvamos, on the road from Veszprem to Hidegkut (so you pass by often).
THE JOURNEY THERE
You can fly to Budapest, Vienna, Bratislave, Graz or Balaton (Keszthely, on the west side of the lake), but we usually drive there.
The journey there from our house in North Groningen is about 1300 kilometers by car. You can easily spend several days here, along various beautiful routes in central Europe. In the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary you have to buy a vignette for the motorways via the internet. You will be registered electronically after payment.
We usually drive in a day over Oldenburg, Bremen, Hanover, Magdeburg, Leipzig, Dresden, Prague, Brno, Bratislava, Györ, Zirc, Veszprem. At Veszprem you come to a ring road. Here you go left around the city (the east side) and take the exit in the direction of Tapolca. On this quiet road, after about 10 km you will see a sign to Hidegkut, turn left. Then you will see the village after a few minutes after the exit.
