Idokerék - Timewheel - European Historic Survey Stones, Monuments and Benchmarks on Waymarking.com

Budapesten, az Ötvenhatosok terén (volt Felvonulási tér) található. Átméroje 8, szélessége 2 méter; vörös gránitból, rozsdamentes acélból és golyóálló üvegbol készült. Súlya 60 tonna. Belsejében finomszemcsés homok hullik az alsó részbe, a homok pergése lassú, nappali fényben csak közelrol látható.

It is made of granite, steel, and glass, and weighs 60 tons. The "sand" (actually glass granules) flows from the upper to the lower glass chamber for one year. The last few grams of sand flow through at exactly midnight on New Year's Eve and the Timewheel is then turned 180 degrees so the flow of the sand can resume for the next year. The turning is done by manual power using steel cables and it takes roughly 45 minutes for 4 people to complete the half turn. The Timewheel was unveiled on 1 May 2004 to commemorate the historic enlargement of the European Union that also admitted Hungary (along with 9 other countries) to the EU.

Visit Instructions:
1. A closeup photo of the waymark with your GPS, or (a part of) you in it, is required.
2. An area photo including the waymark in the view is highly appreciated.
