Nógrád County
Nógrád (Slovak: Novohradská) is a county (Hungarian: megye) of Hungary.
Description
Nógrád county lies in northern Hungary. It shares borders with Slovakia and the Hungarian counties Pest, Heves and Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén. The capital of Nógrád county is Salgótarján. Its area is 2,544 km².
Nógrád is famous for its historic architecture of ancient Gothic churches and stone castles dated to the 13th century. Other historic landmark includes the baroque buildings constructed in the 18th century and the Vay, Teleki. Much of the northern border of the county is formed by the river Ipoly. The mountain ranges Börzsöny, Cserhát and Mátra lie partly in the county.
Due to the mountains, the county is characterised by small villages nestled in the valleys. The two largest settlements are Balassagyarmat, the former county seat, and Salgótarján, which has become a center of industry in the early 20th century due to coal mines nearby.

N.-D.
by: Nocte ObductaUnd als wir schlieŸlich in der gottverreckten Finsternis der Berge angelangt
waren, da hielten wir inne und blickten zurck auf die Tler Lethes, um noch
einmal das zu schauen, was unter unseren Hnden dort entstanden. Wir, sechs
dunkle Schemen im wabernden Dunst, von den Mhen des ungndigen Schicksals
gezeichnet, senkten unsere Blicke und fragten uns, ob es gut sei, was wir da
geschaffen, denn bisweilen klang das ferne Rauschen des Wassers nicht wohl in
unseren Ohren. Hier und da sahen wir scharfkantige Felsen, die vereinzelt die
Oberflche des Flusses durchstieŸen, und sie schienen uns wie Knochen, die
aus zarter Haut stakten. So regte sich mit einem Mal der Wunsch in unseren
Herzen, noch einmal Hand zu legen an unsere Schpfung. Doch als wir nur einen
Schritt getan zurck in die Richtung, aus der wir gekommen, da ergossen sich die
Nebel Sturzbchen gleich in die Tler und entzogen alles unseren zweifelnden
Blicken. Zu lange schon hatten wir am Strome des Vergessens geweilt. Wir
verstanden, befanden, daŸ es gut sei und wandten uns um, die Wanderung zu
ferneren Gefilden fortzusetzen, wohin die Herbststrme uns nun riefen.
Sollten die Unwrdigen taumeln in den Nebeln und in die Fluten Lethes
strzen. Sollten sie ersaufen und in Vergessenheit versinken, oder sich festkrallen
an den schneidend scharfen Felsen, Lethe wrde sie doch noch mit sich reiŸen
in kalter Umarmung...
Prost!!!
