Hungary was part of the polyglot Austro-Hungarian Empire, which collapsed during World War I. The country fell under Communist rule following World War II. In 1956, a revolt and announced withdrawal from the Warsaw Pact were met with a massive military intervention by Moscow. Under the leadership of Janos KADAR in 1968, Hungary began liberalizing its economy, introducing so-called "Goulash Communism." Hungary held its first multiparty elections in 1990 and initiated a free market economy. It joined NATO in 1999 and the EU in 2004.

We crossed Hungary twice when we went by bike from Berlin to Croatia in 2003. I think it is possible to do some biking trips in Hungary too. There is the Danube-Biking-Trail (Donau-Radweg), coming from Passau (Germany), Vienna (Austria) and Slovakia.
