Mohacs river cruises, Hungary

What's great about Mohacs river cruises?

Just like bears, Mohács goes into hibernation for lots of the year. This snoozy little Hungarian town is great for dropping off-grid. But it awakens from its sleep in February or March, when the Busójárás carnival sees locals parade through the streets in scary horned masks, which are meant to ward off winter and welcome spring. Plus, there’s still stuff to see while it slumbers. It might be small in size, but it’s played a huge role in history. Follow the road out of town and you’ll come across the Mohács Historical Memorial Site. This place marks the spot where the Hungarian army were defeated by the Turks in 1526 – a rule which ended up lasting almost five centuries.
