Vegrade Castle, located in Hungary's Vegrade village (population ~2000), exemplifies medieval military architecture strategically positioned on a hill overlooking the Danube River. Built in the late Gothic and Renaissance styles under King Matthias Corvinus in the 15th century, the castle served as a defensive stronghold protecting the village and controlling river traffic. The castle's elevated position provided natural protection from mountains and the river, while its walls (20-25 meters high) and defensive structures like catapults made it formidable. Today, visitors can explore the castle's exhibits featuring medieval armor, weapons, hunting trophies, and historical artifacts, while enjoying panoramic views of the Danube that the host describes as one of the most beautiful views of his life.

Viagens de Vassoler #373: Castelo de Visegrád, a mais bela vista da minha vida! | HungriaAdded:
I am a nomad, faithful like migratory birds. My name is Flávio Ricardo Vassoler. I am a writer, teacher, and YouTuber.
Welcome to another landing, another Vassoler flight. We remain here in our beloved Hungary, in the heart of Eastern Europe. And now we arrive at yet another city here in this formidable country of Xandormo.
After Budapest, after visiting the wonderful Chendentre, I took another train from Budapest and arrived in Vichegrades, this beautiful city, a tiny place, folks. It seems there are just under 2000 inhabitants here in Vegrade. It's a small village, okay? It's very tiny here in the heart of Hungary. And you come here, look, I'm going to start showing you now. We have a school here. Look how beautiful the school is. Oh, the school building here. And passing by here, look, one looks like a military truck, look.
This Hungarian school is right here for you to see, I'll show it to you.
Look at the building here of this Hungarian school, Maguior, it has a little church, and we're going to walk around the streets of Vegrades for a bit. It's going to be very peaceful, folks. I already know if you thought chentendrê was tiny, upside down. Oh my God in heaven. And look, from what I'm seeing, there's a Serbian symbol here too. There's a symbol here, look. Look what I'm going to show you. The school's symbol. Hello.
How are you doing?
Oh, girl, a very nice girl.
I can't show it, can I, guys? There's a student over there, a child. I'm not going to show it here in the video, but she's very nice. She got curious here with the camera. Look at this, folks, for you.
Let's get out of here on this street; the only car of the day is coming through here in Vichrad. There you go. In fact, this very notion of "grad," which is a corruption of Gorad in Serbian and Russian as well, already shows how this city also has Serbian origins, right? Look at this little house, everyone.
Look at the style of this little house I'm going to show you.
And it's no use, folks, this dog just keeps changing addresses, you know? It's all the same. And it starts barking when a stranger arrives in front of the house, look. Look here. Here's another little house for you.
Okay, folks, let's get a feel for the architectural atmosphere here. Look how pretty this city is in the heart of Europe.
Grades.
And this here, folks, look, comings and goings, Serbs, Hungarians, and Hungary is a multicultural country, Gypsies, Jews, Hungarians, uh, Romanians, uh, Slovaks, there are several nationalities here, right?
And we're going to visit the top of the hill in this city, folks, there's a formidable castle there, the Vegrade castle. And that's where we're going right now. I'm just going to walk around the city center for a little bit so we can go up to the castle.
It looks like it's a steep climb, and it will take me about half an hour to get there to the castle. Look how cute, everyone! For you guys here, look. Look at the little rose.
Look here. There's a little church here, look.
She's hiding.
I imagine it's closed, right? It's not a day for mass; the town is too small.
I can imagine, I can imagine. Look at this little square, everyone! Look at this cute little square!
in Vicegad, Vichegrade. Here it is for you on Vassoler's travels.
Look at this.
And look what's curious, look. This is in German, look. Jesus Christ emits. May Jesus Christ be beloved in his eternity. Oh, here it is. This is a statue from the Austro-Hungarian Empire that used the German language, folks. There you go.
And they left the statue of Jesus Christ here, even though we are today, ah, the people are today in Hungary.
So, the people here, folks, they deal with a multicultural, multinational city.
These nation-state borders are artificial. Oh, close. Look here, folks, the church tower for you on your travels in Volé. Let's see if the church is open. It won't be there, right? But let's go. Let me see if the church is open.
Oh, it's open. Let's go.
Oops. Is it really open?
Let's see.
Hey, is it open, guys?
No, it's not, guys.
Ah, it says there's a door over there, so I have to go to... The lady over there said I have to go to a door over there. So, let's go.
Come here with me. Vegrades in the heart, oh. I'll show you here, look. They could be there, oh. Look how beautiful! A landscape here for us, oh. What a beautiful photo here with these flowers.
Just wanted to show you a little bit, guys. Oh, the train line is right here, if I'm not mistaken. Could that be the train tracks? And yes. And there, look, it's Saint Stephen and Queen Gisela, look, that's Saint Stephen. There you go, folks, for you, look, the powerful figures who were canonized in the background. Let's go up before entering the church, just to show you the mountains.
Look at that, a tiny little town.
It looks like the small towns in the interior of São Paulo.
Hey everyone, I just arrived!
Nagmaros Vegrad Vegrad.
And there in the distance, oh, those marvelous mountains! There you go. Veg for you. And here's a view of the church. Oh, what a beautiful church this is for you all.
Come on, everyone. Let's go inside that church. Let's see if he's cute.
Let me take this off.
What time is it? 2 PM, folks. It's 2 PM now when I'm recording this video for you. I think it's May 21, 2026. Logging in here.
Look at this beautiful little daycare, everyone!
That's the confessional, personally.
A beautiful Catholic church here in Vegadora, Hungary.
I can't say much here because people are praying.
Let me alone is a beautiful church.
Let's leave here.
A beautiful polychrome church, isn't it?
Wow, guys, put your glasses on here.
And you can already see me in this video, look. Little Red Riding Hood. It's just not working anymore, folks. It's not possible to wear a blouse. I'm still wearing pants, but soon enough they'll be gone too.
Come on, people, because this is impossible. You have to wear shorts, people. Look here.
Eedren.
Acheedren means health in Hungarian. Here it is, little church.
And certainly, the people climbed up to the castle. We'll be going up to that castle in a little while. Let's just take a little walk here through the historic center of Vegrad, which had the Hungarian and Serbian symbols on the church.
That's something, isn't it? You can have binational, trinational communities in the same small town.
These are marks left by the various peoples who have inhabited this region over the centuries, attempting to maintain their identity through language. How beautiful, right? Look here. The castle must be up there. And we're going up. It must be, no, it's up there. Now I want to see how we're going to do this, right? Come on, everyone. Come with me.
Small town.
I'll spend this afternoon here making this video for you about Vassolir's travels, and tomorrow morning I'm leaving Budapest and going to a city called G.
And then it's our farewell.
Oh, Budapest is already behind us.
I'm still sleeping in the city tonight, but I'm already heading to another Hungarian city.
And time just keeps passing, doesn't it?
My God. Look here, folks, what people do, right? The students are still here while I'm finishing school, but afterwards, well, obviously there's no work here, right?
Time has stood still, and people have retired.
It's tough, folks, when you're born in a really tiny town, births around here are destined to end quickly, right? Saying goodbye. It's a farewell, let's just say.
So, it's not easy. But let's go. Let 's get this party started on these trips with Vassolé. Let's shoot.
Let me take a look here.
There are the little houses, look. They're getting a glimpse of what it's like, you see. Look how cute this garden is! Look how beautiful, how gorgeous! Here's a little house, with a little garden.
Beautiful house with a lovely garden.
Phew. Let's go. Here it is for you all.
Look, there's the symbol.
This here is the symbol, it's a Serbian symbol. Here it is for you all. Symbol of Serbia.
Look at that.
That's not a Hungarian crown, no.
Serbian crown. Let's go. Come with me here so I can show you. Let's walk down this little street right now.
Before we go up to the castle, I want to walk around a bit so you can get a feel for it. Oh, that train station over there! Okay?
And we're going to say, these people live in a small town of 2000 inhabitants, but they want to have a car, everyone wants to have a brand new car, right? And only fancy cars.
Let's see. I saw a Romanian dat.
Look at this, everyone. There's a little street over there, look. Well, here I see that it's not as pretty as when it 's chantendrê. It 's not that pretty.
Look, there are some very historic little houses here for you to see.
The little town is more pragmatic now, you see. Come on, let's show you a little bit here, on the vassal trips, look.
Look here, folks, on these broomstick trips.
Let's go up this street, then I'll go down that other one.
Phew! Oh, they're criticizing Urban's Fidesh party here. Go away, maybe a noble curve.
That's what I mean. Go away.
Go away.
Oh, this idyllic little house here, straight out of a cartoon, with the little flower.
Look at this cute little thing we have here for us.
Let's go.
And here, look at this amazing thing.
These little houses, look.
Little gate. Yeah, the city isn't that pretty.
Let's go. Look, there are some old houses over there.
You guys are coming, look, a style that you don't see in Brazil, look. It's quite long at the base, with a kind of roof, resembling a Chinese hat.
There you go.
Here, these flowers are for you. Another house.
Old houses.
Let's go down another street. And that little house up there, huh? Look at that, huh?
For you. The guy opens the door and sees the mountains from the balcony, but the mountains are right behind us, folks.
Wow, this place is very rural, this little town is so rambling.
Let's go.
Come with me.
And today the temperature is mild, folks. There's a nice little breeze blowing. It 's not that hot, thank God.
Look at that, folks.
Let's see where the castle is. We'll just be walking down this lovely street in a moment. Look here, nice and cute.
City Hall for the plants. Oh, look, 30% of Hungary lives in Budapest. There are 10 million Hungarians. Three million people live in Budapest. That's a lot of people, isn't it, folks? That's a lot of people, isn't it? Look here, you guys. I 'm coming right to your heart.
Look, here's a little house.
One car passes by every hour. It's still going by very slowly. The young girl.
The young woman even signaled with her turn signal. How kind! There you go. Little house. There you go, folks. I do n't know if we'll find much more here in the city center, but let's take a little stroll. Look over there!
Castle. Look, there's a castle over there.
Vassoler's travels. It's right there. The castle is over there, folks. That's the way to go. If you're going for the goal, call me and I'll be there. If you're going for the goal, call me and I'll be there. There you go, folks. The castle is over there, so I already know where we're going.
And what about the kids? Those kids are just getting into mischief at school, making art.
Let's see.
Look here, for you all here. So, have you all gotten the hang of the style of the little houses yet?
Hail Mary. Let's go. You arrive, the city's atmosphere is so peaceful, it's so peaceful that you even... you... you... you experience a famous cooldown. You get a really good, good dose of relaxation.
Look here, everyone, how beautiful the school is!
Actually, I think that crown is the Hungarian symbol. It doesn't work, but there might be a mix, like ementendrê.
Then the children left school.
Okay, folks, here's the thing. Let's begin our journey now. The little town is quite unremarkable here in its center. Normal little houses, nothing particularly historically significant.
Let's begin our tour of Vegrade Castle here.
We'll go up to that castle up on the hill for you here in Vegrade. So that's it. Look at that! The little train is stopped. We 'll take that train in the late afternoon and continue on our way through this peaceful, bucolic, delightful town in the heart of Hungary.
Come on, everyone. I need to buy some water here, I'm thirsty now.
I want to see where. City of 2000 inhabitants.
Oh, look, they've put several apartments up for sale. I wanted to see how much the guy was asking. Apartment 70 m² in Shop, not here in Vista Grande. See? There you go.
I think there's a little shop over there. Come on, everyone.
On Vassoleira's travels. Oh, look here, there's a nice little walkway.
That's a Vegade tour. A promenade, I mean, a pedestrian street, right?
And we'll show you, look, there's a fossil here. A phone booth, a fossil that wasn't removed, oh. And we have some little flowers.
Look at that, folks. Anyone who knows the names can add them.
And we even have some photos of Vegade here. There 's a little shop there, thank God. Look how it used to be!
Wow, it's one and it's like today, peaceful like today, today like yesterday. V is there for you. Very peaceful.
Let's buy some water at the little shop over there, okay? We'll be right back.
Broomstick journey in Vichengrade, Hungary. We're going to cross paths.
Guess who?
Our beloved Danube River, omnipresent here in Hungary, huh?
Budapest, Chentendrê, and now Vegrade. We're going to cross the Danube now, folks.
Let's go.
Wow, there's such a comforting breeze.
This helps so many people when they're traveling, when they're making videos of their trips.
And when things get really heated, for God's sake, people.
Hail Mary. Summer here in Europe is unbearable, folks. Winter is cold, very cold for Brazilians, but summer, folks, is Brazilian style, even hotter if you're not careful. Okay, let's go. We have a very nice little restaurant here. There, on the banks of the Danube. Oh, our beloved Danube. Let's show you our beloved Danube. The Danube River, mighty and powerful.
There you go. They were very kind to put it there. Look at this simply stunning view from our Volar travels. I'll have to take a small boat, you know?
Oh, I'll have to take a boat. It won't happen yet. I thought there was going to be a crusade here, but there won't be. I'll have to take a boat down the Danube.
Look at that, folks. I'll have to take a boat. There's no way around it. Oh, boy. Look at that! Our beloved Vich Grades. Let's go. I'll have to see how to get across.
I thought there might be a little bridge, but there's no little bridge at all. Let's take a small boat up and down to the castle. You'll have to, I think you'll have to buy one.
No, that's the ice cream. I'll have to buy one.
Let me see where it says here.
No, I'll have to buy a ticket here to go, oops, to Rio. Oh, let's see where I can buy this one. Go. Wow, this one's going to get on the ferry here. Wow, look here, everyone. What a wonderful view this is, for you here at the castle!
This view of the Danube. Look at this wonderful thing. He's getting on the ferry right here.
I'm going to ask here how to do it. It wo n't work. I won't be able to go now. It's possible to go, right? But the boat must leave.
You need to get out of there, man. The boat leaves from there.
The Danube crosses here. Let's face it, folks. Do you guys face each other in swimming?
Let's go up there, and climb that hill. It's not going to be easy, not at all, folks. Up. Go Corinthians, come up this hill, folks!
Are you staring or not?
Look at that, folks. Are you going to face it or not, for you here on Vassoleir's trips?
Let's go to our beloved Nagmaros Castle.
And vegades.
Let's go.
In the heart of Vassolé's travels, I'll now have to figure out how to get to the castle hill.
Let's buy that little boat over there. I hope it leaves this afternoon, because the last thing I'd expect is to get stuck here in Vegrado, unable to cross over to the castle, right?
Let's continue. Vassoler's journeys.
Guys, I've already bought the tickets.
You pay approximately €3, right? 950 to go and then another 950 to come back.
And we're going in half an hour, look, we're going to walk a little bit.
In half an hour the little boat will arrive here so we can leave for Vegrade Castle. And then I have the times to return, right?
So I'll spend about 2 hours at the castle and then I'll be right back. It's a peplos spending the afternoon here, look. Look at that, folks, those clear waters! The camera, in fact, I saw in Sentendrê's video that it captures water that is clearer than it actually appears to the naked eye.
The technology in these cameras today is amazing, folks.
Look at that! It has a castle. There must definitely be a winding path or stairs.
We're going straight to the castle so we can reach the summit of Vegrado. There you go. So they built a castle there, to dominate the village. It was a very small village. Ali Nagmaroch and here Vegrad and the cities separated by the Danube. If it were summer, I'd brave the famous Tibum here.
You guys were staring at Tibum.
Give me a splash here.
Look at that, folks. What beautiful photos we can take here! Look at this, everyone. These are beautiful photos taken in the heart of Vichengrad, on the way to Nagmarosch. The castle is therefore in Nagmarosch.
Look at that, folks. There you go, Pierzinho and the others making their crossing. There's a little church over there on the other side of the river. Wow, it's really beautiful here, isn't it, man? And that little rocky beach, oh, that little rocky beach reminds me of the beginning of Bergman's seventh seal, when we go to Sweden with Vassoler's travels. Ah, but you have no doubt whatsoever that I'm going to the beach at the beginning of the seventh seal of Ingmar Bergman, the great master of Swedish cinema. Here it is for you, right in your hearts.
Hungary. Look at this scenery, everyone! Our Lady. Wow, that's amazing, isn't it? These pleasant hills and the castle, you know, built on the highest hill to have a full view of the little navy, so that the boats that were there would be on the lookout for provisions.
And that's it, folks. Let's wait now.
I'm going to grab a drink, have a beer, and we'll wait here a little longer until we go to our beloved Vichegradora Castle in Hungary, with the Danube, those beautiful Danubian landscapes, so special to us on Vassoler's travels. Let's go, everyone!
Let's continue here in Hungary. Another journey for this nomad, faithful as migratory birds.
And now you won't get to live with my inseparable jacket anymore.
But it lasted quite a while, didn't it? It's been about two, maybe two months since I abandoned the heavier jacket. And now that this trip is being extended, it will be several months before I can put on my heavier jacket again to withstand the temperatures of winter, autumn, and winter. Vindouros viaj. Oh, there's a house up there, folks! Oh, what a marvelous thing on the hill. Let 's continue our broomstick journeys.
And here we begin a peplos. You can see the ferry, look, with the cars, the people who are going to cross here. Actually, it's Nagmaroch and Vichegrades, that's where the castle is, right? So now we're going to grab this little balcony, look, it's a big balcony, because there are cars back here. And we will sail across the Danube.
Vichrades is that little village over there. And Nagmaroch. Here, look, this one on the other side of the Danube, right? Let's go, everyone.
It's right there for you. Olí a balsa. We 'll cross paths.
Pure joy.
Take beautiful photos here too, of our Danube River. Look at this wonderful thing. We are getting closer to the village of Vichgrade. Here it is for you all. Look over there, everyone.
How beautiful! This also reminds me of the Mekong River, doesn't it? Look at the extent of the Danube, folks, even here in this tiny little village for you to see. Water.
Is the camera capturing water that appears less murky than what the naked eye could see? And what about the castle for us on our vassalage voyages? We'll show you here, look. I took a close-up photo right on the hill. There you go. It's falling behind, look.
And we're almost there. We're going straight to the castle. Maybe I'll take a quick stroll through the city center, but I won't linger too long. I want to go to the castle so we can take advantage of the good ferry schedules here, right? Here it is for you all.
Heart of Hungary, folks, heart of the Hungarian countryside. One hour from Budapest. If you come to Budapest, if you come to Hungary, take a train to Eendrê and then to Vichrade, Nagmaroch. That's it, let's go, it's good. There you go, folks.
We're almost there! Just a 5-minute ferry ride, nice and slow. The boat is here escorting here, sideways, look.
The boat appears from the side, it's escorting our tour here. Let's do this, everyone! The small village of Vegrade in the heart of our beloved Hungary.
Look how it appears to us, see. The city of Nagmaros. There you go, for you on Vassoleir's trips, we've already done peplos.
Now I'm remembering the Bookebus trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia del Sacramento.
It was pouring rain from Argentina to Uruguay. We've already done the journey along the Mekong River. There were many nomadic journeys, as faithful as the migratory birds of Vassoleira's travels, huh, folks.
Let's go.
Now I want to see which road we'll take to get up to this castle. I don't see any stairs, but there must be some in the middle of that woods, folks.
We're coming, look, for you.
So, when I plug in the next socket, we'll already be on our way to Vegrade Castle.
Vassoler's journeys towards that hill in the heart of Hungary in Vegrade.
Come on, everyone. We're here in Vegrade and I'm already heading towards our beloved castle. I'm taking a shortcut this way.
Look, there's a river here!
Hungarian style. Let's go take a picture. King Carol, century, Our Lady.
11th century, folks, for us here on Vassoleir's travels, we'll be showing it. All we have is the castle. It's going to close at 5, it'll take about half an hour to get up there, so we ca n't mess around yet, otherwise we won't be able to see anything.
Our beloved castle is right here, folks.
Look at that, folks. A small town hall, perhaps. Oh, a tourist information office.
The quiet, sleepy little town. It reminds me of that poem by Drummond. Life goes by slowly.
Slowly the windows open. What a silly life, my God. Look, here it is, a little country-style house that they decorated here. Let's go, everyone. Let's go to the countryside of São Paulo here. Let's go to our beloved countryside of São Paulo. There, look, the little church.
Look at that, folks.
Wow, it's a really quiet town.
There's only one little castle for us, for us to enjoy ourselves, for us to have some fun. Hey, post office, the mail is here!
The post office.
Where a minute, history, the history of the post office, oh. Here it is for you. 1905. Look, there.
Now, who's going to use the mail to send things these days? It's only for delivery, right? He finished.
Nobody will use the post office anymore.
Come on, everyone.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What is this? A small movie theater. There you go. It must be a socialist legacy. Yeah, folks, a movie theater in this tiny little town. It's a socialist legacy, folks. Let's go there for you, here in the heart of Vassoler's travels.
Let's go for this walk. Let me see if I'm correct here. Okay, guys.
Let's go, we're going to wind our way up these slopes to get there.
It's a half-hour walk from here to cover 1.4 km. In other words, we're going up, folks. It's going to be tough. Stay strong, Flavião. Strength, strength.
Look up there, Fly, from above. Look, there's a spare room here for anyone who wants to stay. Cimafra. Look at this cute little house for us here.
The broomstick journey.
Come on, everyone.
This little town is really pretty.
And that old guy over there, I saw him at Reval, you know?
Damn, that old guy nailed it, he nailed it with that heavy metal. Oh my God. Let's go.
Go on, everyone, stay strong. Okay, let's go. Calvary, oh. Oh, the ordeal.
It's literally an ordeal. Stay strong, Flavião. Go for it. As our Portuguese colleagues from Braga would say. Go for it! Let's go for us here on the Valeira trips.
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Damn.
And it's going uphill, huh?
Oh dear, oh dear. Let's go.
Look at this view. Our Lady, what a beautiful thing we have here, with the church tower in the background.
Beautiful, folks.
Come with me.
Let's keep going up.
Oh, who lives here, folks? Oh, what a beautiful sight for you all here.
Oops.
On our vassal trips, let's go.
Oh my God, Father in Heaven.
Let's go.
Ouch!
Here, look. Come with me. Come with me.
They endured the ordeal.
Oh, my son, couldn't you have made it shorter? Stay strong, everyone, stay strong, stay strong.
Let's go.
Oh, my goodness.
Hey guys, listen, in order for me to go up faster, I'm going to have to stop this connection. See you up next time, folks. I've climbed higher up here, look. Look at this beautiful image we have here.
My God, look at this beautiful image.
And the climb is steep, you know? You have to grab this here, look.
Well, though.
Let's go.
Oh, Our Lady. It never ends. It never ends. Guys, it says it will take 25 minutes to go up.
1.100 meters.
Holy [ __ ], that 's really tall, guys. Here it is for you all. Strength, strength. There are some landmarks here, look.
Damn.
Look at that, folks.
They made a sort of Calvary of Christ here, with the markers along the way, like Bom Jesus do Monte in Braga.
For God's sake, people. Let's go.
Look at this, it's a beautiful place.
But for God's sake, that's a test for the faint of heart. Thank God I don't have a heart condition. Stay strong, Flavião. Stay strong, Flavião.
For God's sake, people. To pay for sins here. Let's go up there, we'll pay for all our sins.
Let's go, everyone!
Let's go.
Come here with me. One of you comes with me. Let 's go over to that mass. Is it really going to stop rising there, folks? There's still a lot more to come.
Let's go. Strength, strength. Oh, one more point. Hail Mary.
And it just keeps going up, folks. There's a cross here, look.
Come on, let's continue here.
Oh my God, Baleer's travels.
Oh, the river. If it weren't for these trees, I would have a full view of the Dan Nubian River.
Come on, everyone. Almost there, everyone. Serious?
Look, I'm going to sit here for a bit. I'm going to give myself about 10 minutes to rest here, because the castle closes at 5 and it 's 12 minutes to 4.
This climb towards this hill here in Vegrade.
Look, I've already faced Matiu Pito, for God's sake. I've tackled some hills in Japan before. in Switzerland.
But I think that was the hardest one of my life, guys, for God's sake.
Our Lady. Here's the mouth, the entrance to the castle, look. For God's sake, people. Here's the entrance for you.
Unfortunately, I don't think you have to buy a ticket. Entry is free and we're going up there. That was it.
Our people, it's very steep, for God's sake. Every saint will help you get down there.
But it was that Choprone beer I had, that Choprone beer I already drank, I already lost those kilocalories, they're all gone, folks. Hail Mary, Our Lady.
Tonight I'm going to sleep like a lamb.
Folks, these trips as a messenger are my real exercise. It involves walking 6 to 10 km a day, climbing church stairs, and climbing mountains. Are you crazy? Are you crazy?
Let's go. I'm going to rest a little while, and then we'll start exploring the territory here at our beloved Vichegrades Castle in Hungary. Vassoler's journeys to the rest of heaven here in our beloved Hungary of Xandor Maroi.
Come on guys, I've rested here now.
Let's go.
We climbed this up here, guys. Let's sail through this beloved castle of ours.
Its throat is right here. Hail Mary, did you see?
I wish I could see that nobility descending every day. Those sons of [ __ ], they were so wicked! It can only be Gichlen, here in German, Zarva in Hungarian, English. Come on, folks, here it is for you. Oh, there are no tickets here.
You have to buy a ticket to enter the castle.
Yes, so we'll have to buy the ticket here to enter the castle.
Let's go. I've come this far, the last thing I needed was not to buy anything, right? Come on, everyone. A vassoler's journey towards the interior of the castle.
Come on, everyone, let's get this show on the road, for God's sake! But here's the thing, I want that panorama to go over the trees, okay? Because I want to see that river, you know? You pay around €9, okay guys? So, that's about 45 or 50 bucks reais, right? I'm telling you to come inside, everyone. 2800 forent, for God's sake. Okay, I've climbed a lot already, guys.
Wow, that's the limit.
These athletes, for God's sake, people.
44 years old, 4x4 engine, carburetor already varied.
Our Lady.
But let's keep going, there are more stairs up there. Do you think the stairs are finished? I just finished watching the play. Look, there he is, everyone. But it will be worth it because we 'll have a simply stunning view of the Danube River.
Here, folks, for you on Vassoleir's travels. Let's go here, with this castle. Wow, look at the size of that wall! It must be about 20 or 25 meters high. For God's sake. Our Lady.
What a sight, folks, for us here on Vassoler's travels. That's it, that's what I came for. Look, there's a boat on the Danube. What a wonderful thing for us. Thank you, my God, for this wonderful vision.
What a gift for you from Vassolé's travels. Come on. Let's go. Come on!
Let's climb this castle, everyone!
But first, let's get this far.
Our Lady is here for you all.
Let's go upstairs so we can enter the castle, look. The entrance to the castle is right here.
Our Lady.
Look at this panorama, everyone.
My God in heaven. A trip to Voler, one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Hungary, Vichrad.
What a wonderful thing for us on Vassolé's trips, folks.
There's a small river island over there, look. Can you see what this is? Oh, this little town of Magvaros. And here is the little town of, uh, folks, what is this, guys?
Sensational.
Look at this panorama, everyone.
Look at that bend in the river. This really does look like the Mekong River in Thailand and Laos, folks. Fantastic, guys.
Heavenly Father, thank you, my God, for being in this place here, with the Hungarian flag.
Look at this, folks, for you. A trip for a female Freemason. That's all for now, folks.
But we're not going to lose our groove here, no way.
Look at that, folks. Look, there's a cart down there. It looks like a little ant, boy.
To think that I climbed up, oh, from the boat here, oh.
Wow, what a place! Look at those hills in the background, everyone.
Sublime things. There's no wind here anymore, look. But it's okay, everyone. Nothing is perfect, right? Even the perfection of this panorama isn't perfect for you.
Look at the river bending, everyone.
Literally making the turn. Oh, the little houses in the little village! You see the village spreading out like a sheet here on the mountainside, oh.
some houses there in the mountains.
Look at this amazing thing, folks. This is one of the most beautiful sights.
Look, I've already been to Molsonier, in Switzerland, and I've been to the Swiss Alps. Wow, this is one of the most beautiful views.
I was on Madeira Island, folks, in Portugal, and the views were breathtaking. Look at this, everyone.
Broomstick trips here for you.
What is this, people?
It's breathtaking for us, oh. And where the river bends over there, look. Look at this.
Come here, everyone. If they come to Hungary. Budapest is definitely the destination for anyone coming to Hungary.
Don't forget to take it, everyone. It's just one, it's just one train here. One hour to Vichade, Magvaroch, Vichgrado. And then you'll arrive here, folks. For God's sake, what a fantastic thing to see here on these maçolé trips.
Contemplate.
This here, folks, also reminds me of Avignon in the French province. Does that remind me of the vision we had in Kurdistan, Latvia?
What a beautiful place. Look, look! It looks like a blanket spread over the mountains.
If this were in Brazil, I would say it's the Atlantic Forest.
The mountains are all covered, oh.
How beautiful. They were not stolen.
through the industrial process.
And here it is, folks. Here it is for you.
What a beautiful place. I'm going to take some photos of myself here, and then we'll continue with Vassoler's travels, this being one of the most beautiful panoramas of my life. I will never forget that view in Begrade. It was very hard.
This is very Daeviskian, isn't it? The essence of the Russian soul. You suffer to achieve beauty. This is what happened to arrive at this formidable vision.
The view from the banks of the Danube is already beautiful. Oh, how beautiful! My God in heaven.
Thank you, Dad.
My God, thank you so much. Thank you to all of you who take the courses at Vassoler's Virtual University, who are the mediators of my journey to the five continents and seven seas with Maçoler's travels. What a wonderful thing, everyone. Let 's continue in the paradise called Vichengrad, in the heart of Hungary.
Among the most beautiful visions of Flávio Ricardo Vassoleiro's 44 years, a faithful nomad like migratory birds.
Let's continue, everyone.
Free trips to Maçolera, Hungary.
Beauty should save the world.
Come on, folks, let's go out of this paradise with this amazing view.
Let's go upstairs, we have 50 minutes to explore this castle, right? It might seem like a lot, but since I 'm a detail-oriented guy, it 's not.
Let's go! Here's another scenic spot. For God's sake, look at this.
Wonderful, too. Come on, everyone.
Here, look, to get to this castle. Be careful here. My hands are both full, right? One with a cell phone, the other with a camera.
Let's hold onto the handrail. I can't stand climbing the stairs anymore, guys. I can't climb anymore.
Hail Mary.
Let's go.
Oh, dad.
Oh, a window frame here!
Hey, let's go.
Oh, Dad.
What do we have here? An exhibition of the castle.
Look at that, the animal is big. How's the Danube riverbank?
Plindenburg in German.
Let's see. There's a view there too.
Our Lady.
Oh, here's the castle hill, folks. And that's exactly how it is, isolated, you see? Heavenly Father.
Just look.
Wow, look at the view here for you all! What a sight, folks! Here too, look.
The view was sensational.
And here, look, what do we have here?
Wow, here we can see the side of the castle.
And here we show you the river, its contours, look. Let's go. It's as if we were sentinels here at our beloved castle, right? Let's go.
Look at that, folks.
Oh, what a life.
So let's go to the castle.
We'll be covering this region from here.
My heavenly father. And then we'll get there, you see. So, if you remember that golden street, the golden lane in Prague, near Prague Castle, the courtiers lived there.
Wow, this looks like a little church.
Is it a small church? Look at that!
It looks like a lecture hall, oh.
But I don't see it.
This is a well, right? Oh, for you all. Let's go.
Oh, let's put the bathroom here.
Our Lady, boy, people. There are some, there are some wax sculptures here, look. Look at this amazing thing.
Look at that, folks. Oh, oh, the king is here, the king's banquet.
Look at that! This usurper of the king right here. They only care about their own. That son of the king's mother. There you go, for you all. On broomstick journeys, oh.
They held the banquet. Look at the king's banquet. It's bread that never ends. It's chicken, it's suckling pig. Oh, how beautiful, everyone! And the merchants, oh, coming to offer their, their, their products to the king, oh. There you go, the big boss. This is the bigwig of the court here, for you all. Their coat of arms, coat of arms, is right there for you. Let's go with the court here, then. Can you see this?
And now what else do we have here?
Our Lady.
And here you see a beautiful dance they put on here. Here's a dance in the style of Ana Carenina.
There you go, the court ball. This is where networking happened back then, right?
People would ask for the maiden's hand in marriage to dance, oh. He made agreements about what happened and what wasn't going to happen. Who was getting married, and what kind of rings would they exchange?
Well, not much has changed, has it, folks? Some people use marriage to get richer, to gain more power.
We know there are few marriages based on love, right? Arranged marriages to have children, marriages to accumulate assets, but not for true love, because people truly love each other, right? This is very rare. As Visuava Shimborska, the great Polish poet already honored here in Vassoler's travels, would say.
If the world depended on true love for children to be born, few of us would have been born. Here it is for you. But look how interesting this court is.
And you see the shorter people, look, they're about the average height for that time. The protein diet was different, oh.
So there you have it, folks, the flute.
Take a look at this castle for yourselves.
Amazing, guys, amazing! Look here, right foot. The right foot isn't that high.
Let me show you again, right here. The banquet.
Royal banquet. Just look at that.
And a child who was eating here alone, look.
He's feeding the dog.
Look, folks, at the treats on the table of this king, this parasite, this king here.
Just look at yourselves on Vassoler's travels. There you go, folks. We're leaving now.
The exit was this way, right? But, oh, let's see what else we have to offer by walking around here near our beloved castle.
Let's see what else the castle has in store for us. Our Lady, in addition to the wonderful views we had on our broomstick journeys.
Come on, everyone. Oh, you can't keep climbing the wall. I've seen it before, but it's almost as if I was going to do that.
Wow, people are just standing there, it must be amazing to see the view.
Let's go.
Here, folks. I can't climb anymore, guys. Today was all about saving up for a lifetime.
Look here, everyone.
Wow, the pictures of this castle are stunning, aren't they?
Come on, come with me.
Oh, my father, come here with me.
We're almost there. The view must be beautiful. Look at that, amazing!
It's the most beautiful view, really, with that panoramic view. But look at this magnificent castle!
I'm also remembering Sésias Castle, one of the best preserved, at least on the outside, that we saw on Vassoleir's travels, right? Look at this beautiful castle! Come on, everyone.
Keep your chin up.
Strength to us all.
My goodness, what an amazing place.
Ouch!
Let's go.
Phew!
This is the interior of the castle.
Look at this, everyone.
They decorated this place with flowers. They built a palisade, look.
We'll show you. Let's go all the way to the back of this courtyard. Then we'll get into those two.
Look, there's King Caroli! Here it is for you all. One of the parasites here. You can see that my appreciation for kings is as great as my appreciation for the bourgeoisie, right? They used to put on theatrical performances here. Oh, you're seeing this for yourselves here on Vassoler's travels.
Look at this.
And what do we have here? This here, this here is a catapult, look.
A catapult is a catapult.
Exactly. THE. Wow, this is an ancient weapon of war, folks!
The engineers of war, right? There you go, putting a fireball there, a steel ball, and boom, it would explode, right? He played, he gave it his all.
Come on, everyone. I'll have to manage my phone's battery again, and I'll be right back.
So, let's continue, shall we, with this gigantic catapult here once again.
Let's go. Let me get this part of the castle for you.
Look at this. Oh dear. Here, look. The guy gets stuck, he grabs the guy's head, look.
If Larissa were here, she could take a picture of me. I've played with this before in other castles, you know.
Wow, folks, look at this panorama! My heavenly father, what a wonderful thing for us on our vassal journeys.
My God in heaven.
Sensational. So this is for the guards, right? It has a complete overhaul, right?
Whether it's someone coming from the other side, someone coming from over there, or someone coming from the river to here, look. And mountains are natural protectors, right? So you protect the castle, it's elevated, a privileged position, you protect the waters, you protect the land, and it 's guarded by the mountains. That's the extent of the castle's protection, right?
Did you notice?
Here it comes, over here.
Look, they've done it all the way up to this point.
Anyone who wants to bring a snack to eat here at Our Lady's place.
Look at that, folks.
That's very beautiful. Our Lady of Aparecida.
That's something. I'm coming here, look.
This is the very summit of the castle for us on our broomstick journeys, oh, for you in the heart of Hungary, oh. Look at that! There is a maximum point from the sentry post onwards.
And the sentry stayed here, kept watch, nobody was going here, nobody was going to invade, right? The troops were trapped by the mountains themselves, right? Look at this amazing thing. Now let's go this way. Our Lady.
We come this way.
There's a little bridge, look.
Oops.
And here you can see what we have here, look.
Wow, there just keep getting more panoramas, folks!
Wow, there are so many places. Look at this panorama here.
My God, are you crazy?
Sensational.
How beautiful! It's the Atlantic Forest, folks. There you go.
Heart of Europe, huh? Inner Europe, inland Hungary. For you on your broomstick journeys.
Vassoler fulfilling his dream of being a faithful nomad like migratory birds.
Let's go. The Berghof international sanatorium is right there.
There's the magic mountain, folks, by Thomas Mann. The Berghof international sanatorium is right there. Okay, here it is for you on your broomstick trips. Oh, there you 'll find Nafta, Setembrini.
Look at this amazing thing!
Here it is. Here it is for you.
This castle, oh. So, we're getting a complete, comprehensive view of the castle here.
Look at that beautiful window, that beautiful shot, huh?
And now we're going to the exhibition. Let's go.
It has the castle's interiors. Wow, folks, it's like heaven itself. And we were blessed with a sunny day, but not an excessively sunny one. So it's going well, I'm enjoying it. I don't feel like I'm being whipped by the sun.
But to tell you, for anyone who wants to know the best time to come here to Europe, I would say that March is still cold. I'd say April and May, folks. April and May, okay? It's a good time to come here because the temperature is milder and it's not that awful summer heat that's about to start. So what can you do, right? In Rome. Like the Romans do, as my father João Lavos would say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, right? Let's go. Here it is for you, in the heart of Vassoleira's travels.
Let's go. Let's go in over here.
Look what we have here!
The court appears to be there, apparently.
Oh, how they lived! Here it is, the courtroom. Just look at that.
Chair upholstered in leather. How beautiful, huh?
These nobles would go hunting later, oh, hunting bears here, oh. You ask. This looks like a cheetah, look. And that's definitely a bear. There are moose antlers here, look.
Look, there's a bison head on the wall!
Look at this crazy situation for you guys over there.
And these dishes here from our dear hunter, look. He looks like a minstrel of joy, oh, with his viola. There you go.
What else do we have here?
That's where the museum is.
Hello. There's a museum right here. Hello.
Look at that, folks.
They stuffed animals. So, they were hunters, noble hunters, right? Oh, they stuffed animals.
What do we have here? There's a stuffed falcon over there, look. Okay?
What more do we have? There are some partridges around. A wild boar, oh. Look at the wild boar, folks, that those guys used to hunt here! There's a fox over there. Everything's stuffed, look. The guys had nothing better to do. Working wasn't their thing. So they went hunting, you know.
It was a good life, wasn't it? Oh, poor animals. But there it is, for you all.
And the hunts, the hunting scenes here of the nobility, oh. There he is, filming the scenes, the hunts for Abaqui's avali.
And, look, up here are the trophies, the animals' skulls, the horns and such. That's it, that's what they did. The hunt is war, right? That's what they did. Let's go. There's another one.
Hey, I'm only going downstairs today, folks. Enough of climbing.
It doesn't go up anymore today. I'm not going up any more stairs, for God's sake. Another exhibit here for you on your broomstick journeys. What do we have that we have? Hey, we have some armor here. It couldn't be missing from the castle, could it?
The armor, oh. Look how interesting, everyone. But this castle is interesting, isn't it? Oh, look at the axes. Oh Rascolnikov's ax from Crime Punishment, Dastevski.
Look here, medieval armor, a symbol of crusaders, right?
Defending Christianity.
Defending Christianity. These crusades were true massacres, weren't they? Here it is for you.
Look at the battles, everyone! My heavenly father. It is no coincidence that Antonios Block returns in the seventh seal, heartbroken and distraught, after witnessing the crusades' workshop. Look here, folks, for you all.
The troops in conflict, the rival generals.
Oh, look, there was a whole code of honor, folks, for the battles. And the women up here. Oh my, folks, if they fell into the hands of the enemy, God forgive me, right? Hail Mary.
Here he is, King Carol Robert. Here are my travels as a broomstick for you all.
These are beautiful images, suits of armor here for us, oh.
Our meat scene is a total workshop, oh.
They're taking it, oh. They are killing each other.
It looks like a playful painting. This is the sound of steel clanging against iron. Steel, I don't know. Iron. Not steel, right? Modern steel.
But iron hitting iron.
Screams of mutilated bodies.
Battles for power, for glory.
Hail Mary, everyone. People fighting each other, annihilating each other. Here, behold, the trumpets of war. Can you see this here?
It looks like a playful scene, doesn't it? Heavenly Father.
Look at that, folks.
An incitement to war, right? Look at this soldier, he's looking stylish here. Anyone who sees this would think they weren't going to die, right?
Just look.
Look at this other one too, all decked out, fully decked out in his armor.
There you have it, look, the bow and arrow, folks.
Arc arrow, arquebus, right? Tava, could just give a more modern shot?
Wow, look, look at the weapons section here, for you guys.
Our Lady.
And here, look, you see. The troops advanced. Here we get an idea of ancient warfare; it's no longer medieval, it's modern, right? But it's obviously not from the pre-industrial revolution era. The troops advanced as a unit, shields in hand. From afar, the troops on the hill were trying to use the advantage of the mountain's height to form a parabola and target the rival troops. And they were trying to pierce each other with spears, oh.
And so, and if, well, I don't remember which Polish city Larissa and I were in, when I showed you a battering ram, which is a log, a tree trunk with a spear at the end, and they tried to break down a castle door, you know, to get into the citadel, and when they managed to get in, there was a massacre. There you go, for you all.
Look at this photo, it's wonderful!
This is the castle complex that we are in, where we are. Look at the castle complex here, okay?
For you guys here too, look. Another photo.
What a wonderful thing.
Beautiful place, everyone.
Very, very interesting. There's a dimension here, look. Matias Runiads, uh, 15th century, had the castle, uh, uh, he built the castle and the citadel in the late Gothic and Renaissance style.
Matias was fighting for his life. He spared no time, energy, or money in developing his army. As a result, ah, the first stable Hungarian army came into existence, called the Black Army, the First Hungarian Army, right, by later generations, uh, and it was made up of light and heavy cavalry, uh, soldiers who were infantry, right, and considering the period, the technical development of the period, there was a particularly developed artillery. In 1487, during a review of troops in Vienna, Antonio Bonfini, the Italian humanist historian, wrote about a parade of 20,000 mounted soldiers and 8,000 infantry soldiers. Our Lady. The key to Matias's military success lay in the deeply disciplined cooperation of many different types of weapons, as well as in logistics and the organization of supplies. And most importantly of all, in the courage and talent of the army leaders, Pal, Knich, Hugitz, Imbre, Chapoliai, Itvan, Chapoliai and many others. Matthias was loved and honored by his soldiers, as the Italian historian Turer wrote. They preferred to serve Matthias for free rather than serve others for money. So, the Hungarian king Matthias established, look how interesting, folks, this period was forming, right? As monarchical houses were forming, professional armies were being formed precisely with stability of territory, the relationships of suzerainty and vassalage, the collection of taxes, the unification of taxes, the formation of the modern nation-state, right? Of course, with its bureaucratic structures, its formation would still take a long time, but there it is for you on your vassalage trips. Oh, these fascinating explanations! We've learned so much here from our voyages, thank God. There you go, folks. This is the castle I showed you.
Wow, my God. There you go, folks.
We went to all the points of the castle and let me see what time it is. We still have some time to explore our beloved castle.
Let me see if there are any. No no. There is n't any here. Not that way either.
I think we've already been to all the spots here in the castle on Vassol's trips. So let's go. Oh, the catapult is here again. Look at the heart, oops, the heart here of this catapult, look. So, let's go, everyone.
Here's the beautiful view for you all, and I'm going to take some pictures of myself now.
We have fulfilled our mission here at the castle.
Look at that, isn't it a beautiful vision of what was once the ultimate power, now crumbled?
A skeleton without flesh, without life, without blood. It was once the ultimate power. Here it is for you, in the heart of Vassoleir's travels, Vegrade. What a beautiful castle, what a wonderful journey we took through the entire castle grounds. I'll stay here until 5, then I'll leave and we'll go downstairs. I'll finish this video on the way back from the ferry.
Let's continue.
Vassoler's travels, Hungary, within and to the Vichengrade. Come to Vichegrades and then go to Gentendrê, two beautiful towns near Budapest, in the heart of Hungary.
Vassoleir's travels, the beautiful and the sublime, the beautiful and the ugly, because militarism is hateful, but it is an unequivocal and profound part of the sad and also hopeful struggle of human history.
Vassoler's travels. Free file, Hungary. One of the most remarkable views of the life of Flávio Ricardo Vassoler and certainly of Vassoleiro's travels. I'm being careful here not to get carried away and roll up the ladder down here, for God's sake. Here it is for you, in the heart of Hungary.
Danube.
Let's continue, everyone.
So guys, I'm back near the ferry landing again.
She'll be leaving Vegrade soon.
Imagine that we climbed up to that castle, folks, where the tip of my finger was, right there on the hill, look. That's fantastic.
Ali, aqui vocês têm Vegrades e ali Magivaros ou Magivaros.
And there you have it, folks, for those broomstick trips. The ferry is already here, ready to take us.
And I want to thank each and every one of you who accompanied me on yet another formidable journey of Vassoler's travels.
We left Budapest, came here to Magvarou and Vichengrad, and sailed through beautiful landscapes, both in this little town, and at the Danube crossing, as well as to the formidable castle in the background here.
Thank you, everyone. In the next video we will be in a new city, no longer in Budapest. I mean, in the last two videos we were in Chantendrê and Vichrades, but we won't be based in Budapest anymore, right? I'm going to Gur, the next city. Wait.
And I thank each and every one of you who watched this latest video of Vassoler's travels. I ask that you like this video, share it on social media so that we can engage with more and more people.
Below the video, you'll find a "Become a Member" button. You can become humanist members of the channel.
And there's also a "thanks" button so you can make a financial contribution with some really cool images right here. Look how beautiful. You can take a beautiful photo here, of this formidable ferry in the heart of the Danube, for you on Vassoler's trips, on this little river beach here. This is where we start.
Thanks, but that was a sensational journey.
These are videos like this one, with the most beautiful views we've had of my life and of Voloner's travel history. Videos like this truly capture the essence of this empire, as faithful as migratory birds.
Warm regards to all of you.
Take care.
Until next time.
Bye, everyone. A lap in the castle, folks.
We're here on the ferry to cross over towards Magbaros. It's right there, folks.
What a beautiful landscape, isn't it?
As you all stand there looking at that hill, I say, "My God, I climbed that!" And it was, folks, it was a fierce effort, but we managed to do it. There you go, folks, on the broomstick journeys.
Another trip through those parts of Eastern Europe. Hungary. It's the current trend, the current country, the current culture. It just can't be the language of the moment, because Hungarian is so hard to learn, folks.
But if it's hello, it's thank you very much. You're welcome.
What else had I learned? It's starting to become a rare effect, but the stock of words is there for you all, folks.
Warmest regards from the heart here in Rio to you all on your Voler travels.
And here's the final image of Vichegrade Castle, the fortress we sailed through in this very special video.
Until next time.
Bye, everyone.
