The first hike -- a five-hour excursion to the nearby town of Kőszeg and its surrounding hills -- took place this past weekend. Great weather; wonderful scenery; and friendly company. We couldn't have asked for anything more. I'm already looking forward to the next one in April!
The council of the small village in western Hungary that I call home recently announced a series of monthly hikes in which the settlement's inhabitants can participate free of charge.

Beautiful forest. The forests in Europe are very different from New England forests. New England forest floors are often cluttered with dead trees .Yours look so orderly! I'm guessing I would feel more reverent walking through a forest in Europe.

@ Sue - The orderliness is the result of intensive forest management, which includes frequent thinning and clearing. Of course, not all forests are managed. The ones that aren't resemble those in North America.
