intense prejudice and racism in Hungary. The only reason they are
discriminated against is because they are normally seen as a threat to
the country but Hungary is trying to change that perspective. Some of
Hungarys cultural beliefs that the Roma dont take part in is a sacred
cleansing in Hungarys natural springs, found throughout Hungary.
Since most Hungarians are very religious, people not partaking in
these natural cleanses are seen as devil worshipers.
The hot springs found through out Hungary are one of the
biggest attractions to make them a very bio diverse country. These hot
springs are used for religious practices as well as sustaining the riches
of their environment. Many hot springs have buildings built on or
around them so Hungary can use it as a tourist attraction. These hot
springs are not as well up kept as the ones they have preserved and
are keeping under surveillance, because they are such a sacred part of
their religion. Their hot springs are one of their many Special Areas of
Conservation as well as in their Special Protection Areas.
