Sümeg to Zalaszántó (#3)

We travelled to Sümeg on Friday evening to be ready to start early on Saturday.
After leaving our very strange horse farm accommodation (pretty grim but great breakfast), we went up the hill to Sümegi Vár (Castle). A new entry in our top 3 castles ranking!
It was a hot and sunny walk, mostly through fields and forests and very beautiful. Towards the end of the day we arrived at Europe's biggest stupa, a very strange sight in the Hungarian countryside but interesting to see. We also picked up a bonus stamp here from the vendors outside selling hippy stuff.
We were very worn out when we gratefully checked into our next accommodation, where we were welcomed with a pálinka, not bad.
