Because of all the tasks I need to do, I
can’t go for a hike this weekend. What’s more, the weather is still gloomy and
rainy; floods and inland inundation would make hiking unpalatable. Some roads
are covered with snow and ice and water level of rivers is still rising because
of last week’s rainfalls. I am also feeling under the weather a bit. Is this
something worth complaining about? Certainly not!
If
you can’t go for a hike, do some planning for the next one! That’s what I was
doing when I decided to write this post. I have never been to Kékestető, the
highest peak of Hungary (1014m), and I really eager to visit this place. After
visiting Bakony I would rather hike in Mátra, Kékestető belongs to this mountain
range. As I was looking for hiking trails I found some handy websites which are
in English, so you can read them and make your planning much easier.

Another place you may want to visit is
Rám-szakadék. It is similar to Holdvilág-trench, but this gorge is longer,
deeper, and more spectacular. Travel to Dömös and start the hike to Rám-szakadék
there. Don’t try to go through it when the weather is rainy or it is snowing.
Always follow the path there and don’t try to climb out of the ravine because
it’s life-threatening. Only do the hike from Dömös up to Dobogókő and not the
opposite way. (Otherwise, “traffic jams” will occur in the gorge).
Just one more place to mention: Balaton Uplands (Hun: Balaton Felvidék). Spectacular!!! I’ve been there last fall,
but the weather was so foggy that I can’t even make a satisfying photo…
If I have the time and the weather is
better than now, I will definitely visit these places and shoot photos near Lake Balaton again.
