Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Szombathely
Szombathely sits in western Hungary, only a few kilometres from the Austrian border, and it claims to be the oldest city in the country. The Romans founded it around the middle of the first century as Savaria, and it prospered on the Amber Road that carried Baltic amber south to the Adriatic. The ruins of a temple to Isis, the Egyptian goddess, were rebuilt from fragments and stand in the middle of town, a reminder of how cosmopolitan the Roman world was. Saint Martin of Tours, the soldier who famously shared his cloak with a beggar, was born in Savaria in the fourth century, and the town honours him with a pilgrimage and a church.
