Szoborpark
What do you do when communists leave and you have a whole bunch of unwanted Lenin statues? You find some empty land in the outskirts of town and turn it into a park: Szoborpark. Maybe some of the visitors are real communists nostalgic for the good old days, but mostly it's tourists finding novelty in history's oppression. Or maybe it's the satisfaction of knowing that communisms's place in the world is now confined to novelty parks in the outskirts of towns. Politics aside, these are very massive and impressive statues. Biggest damn statues I ever seen.
Getting there is kind of tricky. One bus line from the center of town to another bus line's depot. There are signs in english explaining which bus to take, so obviously they know tourists go there. But on the bus, there's no announcement of the stop. It's really in the middle of nowhere, the kind of place you wouldn't feel like getting off a bus, unless you were 100% sure about it. I would have missed it if not for another tourist tipping me off.
