Following the Rábca and Rába Rivers to the original Nyitra & Emil

I went to Europe for a two week trip and went to Györ Hungary where I was able to find exactly where the picture of the original Nyitra was taken. The Spartacus boathouse on the Rába River near the center of the city still exists. Part of why the building remains is that it an unusual architecture for Hungary, it is a German style of timber frame building.

I made a cross-fade video from the 100+ year old picture to the present day, 2016.

Please wait till the end of the video!

I also visited my Great Grandfather Emil Fricke's grave (who we believe owned Nyitra) and paid my respects to him in Györsövényhaz.

Both the Rábca and Rába rivers, which flow together and then into the Danube, were quite beautiful.

Would be fun to take my Nyitra there, but it's way too far away to practically achieve in any forseeable way.
