Depots, dust and ennui sum up most frontier posts, and SZOB , 5km
west of Zebegény, is no exception. Motorists can't drive across to
Slovakia, so few tourists come here. For chance visitors, however, the
Börzsöny Museum at Hámán utca 14 (March-Oct Tues-Sun 10am-6pm; Nov-Feb
Fri-Sun 10am-4pm; 200Ft) is ready with peasant costumes, carved
tombstones, and a piece of a petrified primeval tree found at
Ipolytarnoc and now distributed among several provincial museums.
Crossing into Slovakia by road is absurdly difficult: you either take
the ferry across the Danube, travel 12km up the road to Esztergom, and
there catch another ferry back across to Slovakia; or you drive 30km
north to Parassapuszta on the Ipoly River, which demarcates the frontier.
The crossing at Letkés/Salka can be used only by Hungarians and
Slovakians. The neighbouring village of Drégelypalánk, 7km away, is on
the Vác-Diósjeno-Balassagyarmat train line (trains roughly every 2hr).
