🏞️ SZÉCSÉNY

Szécsény is a small town in the Nógrád county, Northern Hungary, near the Slovakian border. The recorded population is around 5937 inhabitants.

There is a local bus station from where the bigger towns nearby (Balassagyarmat and Salgótarján) can be reached in 30 minutes, and Budapest in 2 hours.

In the town you will also find grocery stores, ATMs, a bank, local restaurants, a pub, a pharmacy, bakeries, second-hand shops, post office, cafés, and tobacco shops.

For your leisure time, Szécsény has a lake where you can go fishing, a beautiful park and hiking spots, and it is only a 30-minute bus ride away from Hollókő, a UNESCO World Heritage village.

🍲 MEALS

Cold food will be provided for breakfast and there will be hot meals for lunch and dinner cooked by the home team. The aim is that each day 3 volunteers will stay in the volunteer house (accomodation) to prepare the lunch and dinner and even to clean the house. The lunch will be carried to the youth center and the dinner in the volunteer house again.

We will provide the ingredients, but we even ask your support to cook your national dished for the team. Keep in mind, that vegetarian, gluten and lactose-free options could be needed available.

Tip: If your diet is special/extreme, we suggest you bring some food with you to complement the provided food. In this case you can avoid possible glitches or shortages for unexpected dietary needs.
