Next Stop - Debrecen

On Sunday afternoon, I reach Debrecen by train. My map shows a campsite about a kilometer and a half away from the train station. I make my way with the Dicken through a kind of industrial area until we reach Kerekes Telepi Kemping in an upscale suburban area. As it turns out, another place with its own thermal baths. You quickly get used to a certain standard.

On the next morning (31.07.2017), I set off alone after a short detour to the thermal baths towards the old town of Debreziner. Rango can stay at the shady campsite. I cross the railway tracks in the northeast direction and walk along Wesselényi Utca to the Greek Catholic Church. Away from the main roads, the cityscape is mainly characterized by one- to two-story terraced houses, many with a facade in need of renovation. The center is dominated by representative bourgeois houses. Passing by one church after another and along cozy looking pubs, cafes and bars, I head towards a (promising-looking on my map) western city structure. Arriving there, I find myself among 10-story buildings in a well-known panel construction. At the market located in the middle of the district, I have a piece of watermelon and a cold Radler for lunch. The way back to the campsite takes me through the center again, along the main street lined with trees. In general, the city makes a quite green impression, which provides a bearable microclimate at the current temperatures. Back at the tent, thanks to the thermal baths, the heat doesn't matter much for the rest of the day.
