Gokart Park Tenk

In Tenk, in Heves county, in northern Hungary, Gokart Park offers an open-air karting track open to all, with no licence or experience. The outdoor layout is driven in the open air, in a country setting away from the big towns, and people gather as a family or with friends to string together timed laps. It is a leisure venue appreciated in this farming region of the plain.

Karting is about the simple fun of racing: a briefing, a helmet, and everyone heads off to post their best time. The short format suits beginners as much as regulars working on their lines, and groups happily set up short heats to sort out the drivers. Everyone tries to beat the clock, and people happily come back to improve their time. As the activity takes place outdoors, it is best to check opening times by season before coming.

Tenk is a small village in Heves county, between the Great Plain and the hills of northern Hungary. The region, given over to farming, rolls out wide landscapes, and the town of Eger is not far, famous for its castle that held out against the Ottomans, its Turkish minaret and its basilica. The Bükk and Mátra mountains, ideal for walking, and Lake Tisza, a vast nature reserve, round out the surroundings. The region is reached by road from Budapest in about an hour and a half.
