Cyril and Methodius Cultural Route
The Cyril and Methodius Route is the first route focusing on Slavic cultural heritage recognized by the Council of Europe. It is the first certified route originating and based in the Czech Republic. It builds on the millennium-old Cyril and Methodius cultural tradition.375—died June 27, 444; Western feast day June 27; Eastern feast day June 9) was a Christian theologian and bishop active in the complex doctrinal struggles of the 5th century. He is chiefly known for his campaign against Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople, whose views on Christ's nature were to be declared heretical.To this end, Cyril invented an alphabet for the Slavic language (what would eventually become known as Cyrillic), which had never had a written form before. This enabled him to translate the Bible into Slavic, making the Gospel more accessible to the people of Moravia.
What did St Cyril invent for the Slavic people : the Glagolitic alphabet
They translated the Bible into the language later known as Old Church Slavonic (or Old Bulgarian) and invented the Glagolitic alphabet, a Slavic alphabet based on Greek characters that in its final Cyrillic form is still in use as the alphabet for modern Russian and a number of other Slavic languages.

Saints Cyril (Constantine) and Methodius were neither Greeks nor Bulgarians. They were Slavs from Macedonia.
Where is Cyril from : Greek
Cyril is a boy's name with Greek origins. This ancient name most commonly means “lord” and “master.” Cyril derives from the Greek name, Kryillos, and is frequently used in the Greek Bible to refer to God or Jesus. Cyril is also the name of many saints throughout history.
Russians make up the most Slavs, followed by Poles and Ukrainians. There are many small historic Slavic nations like Lusatia (and Lusatian Serbs, typically referred to as Sorbs, who still live in eastern Germany), Rusyn, Kashubia and others.
No, Hungarians are not a Slavic people. They are a Finno-Ugric people. Their language is related to Finnish and Estonian. Hungarian is one of the few languages in Europe that does not belong to the Indo-European language family.
Did Cyril invent Cyrillic
The Early Cyrillic alphabet was developed during the 9th century AD at the Preslav Literary School in the First Bulgarian Empire during the reign of Tsar Simeon I the Great, probably by the disciples of the two Byzantine brothers Cyril and Methodius, who had previously created the Glagolitic script.The Cyrillic Alphabet was named for St. Cyril, although there is some dispute as to whether this is the alphabet he invented or not. Cyril was a Greek monk who, with Methodius, brought written language to Christian converts in the mid-9th century (c. 860) in what is now Russia.Greek
Cyril (also Cyrillus or Cyryl) is a masculine given name. It is derived from the Greek name Κύριλλος (Kýrillos), meaning 'lordly, masterful', which in turn derives from Greek κυριος (kýrios) 'lord'.
Saint Cyril Equal of the Apostles, Teacher of the Slavs (Constantine in the schema), and his older brother Methodius (April 6), were Slavs, born in Macedonia in the city of Thessalonica. Saint Cyril received the finest of educations, and from the age of fourteen he was raised with the son of the emperor.
What do Slavs look like : Procopius wrote that the Slavs "are all tall and especially strong, their skin is not very white, and their hair is neither blond nor black, but all have reddish hair". Jordanes wrote "…all of them are tall and very strong… their skin and hair are neither very dark nor light, but are ruddy of face".

”Hungarians consider themselves late descendants of Attila, of Hun-Turkic origin, and Hungarian is a relative of Turkic languages,” said the Hungarian prime minister in 2018 during a meeting of the the Cooperation Council of Turkic Speaking States, which changed its name to the Organisation of Turkic States last year.Polish remained the official language of the incorporated Polish-Lithuanian territories until the late 1830s. Later, it was gradually replaced with Russian through the mid-1860s. A middle stage for the transition was the use of the Russian-style Cyrillic for writing Polish.
Who created Serbian Cyrillic : Karadžić's Cyrillic alphabet was officially adopted in the Principality of Serbia in 1868, and was in exclusive use in the country up to the interwar period.
