Depots, dust and ennui sum up most frontier posts, and SZOB , 5km west of Zebegeny, is no exception. Motorists can't drive across to Slovakia, so few tourists come here. For chance visitors, however, the Borzsony Museum at Haman 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 Letkes/Salka can be used only by Hungarians and Slovakians. The neighbouring village of Dregelypalank, 7km away, is on the Vac-Diosjeno-Balassagyarmat train line (trains roughly every 2hr).
