#1 To the northwest of the Hungarian capital of Budapest lies the village of Bokod in Komárom-Esztergom county

#2 It's an enchanting, fairy tale-like commune dubbed the 'floating village'

thanks in most part to the fact that it's made up mostly of holiday huts on stilts sitting pretty on the local lake

#3 The place has been gaining in popularity recently, and with good reason

Pictures of the neighbourhood paint a mystical, almost dream-like picture of skeletal walkways creeping over misty waters leading to cabins with a certain chilling beauty.

#4 Thanks to the heat from a nearby power plant, the lake doesn't freeze, even in winter
