Mátra mountains

In Hungary we went to Loesje's summer camp in the village of Parád. Parád is located in Mátra mountains between the cities of Eger and Gyöngyös.

Excursions

From Parád we visited other places in Hungary, too. With Antero I visited Budapest. Visits to Tokaji wine district and medieval Hollókö village were made in a little bit larger group.

From Parád to Kecskemét

We left Parád when the Loesje summer camp was over and went to Bogi's hometown Kecskemét in the middle of Hungary.
