Palóc Ring
About
In Patvarc, in northern Hungary, the Palóc Ring lays out a karting circuit of 1.2 kilometres, one of the longest in the country. The track offers both petrol karts and electric models, on a sporting layout with long straights and technical turns. The length of the course changes everything: here you get a real circuit, far from small urban tracks, that delights speed lovers.
Karting stays open to all, with no licence or experience: a briefing, a helmet, and you head off to find your best lap. The length of the layout leaves real chances to overtake and to work on your lines, and the format suits families as much as confident drivers. The choice between petrol and electric power lets you vary the driving experience. As the activity takes place outdoors, it is best to check opening times by season before coming.
Patvarc lies in Nógrád county, in northern Hungary, near Balassagyarmat, regarded as the capital of the Palóc country, a region with a strong cultural identity. Close by, the village of Hollókő, UNESCO-listed, keeps its traditional houses and folk costumes, in a setting of green hills. The Cserhát mountains and the rolling landscapes of the surroundings invite a walk. The region is reached by road from Budapest in about an hour and a half.
