Hymn to the walnut tree

This beautiful tree dominates our garden, and has lent its name to our house.

We only have one big tree on our 5000m². But that one tree is an absolute hit. Unhindered by competitors, it has grown wide and proud and its crown is as much as 10 m wide. During the hot summer months, it provides blissful shade and, during downpours, a dry spot. Of course, an oak or maple tree would also be big and wide and shady. But over the past few days we were then also allowed to lazily pick nuts, harvest we really didn’t have to do anything for. Thank you walnut tree, you are by far our best tree.

  • Cycling tour around eastern Balaton

    We went on a three-day cycling tour along Lake Balaton, with an extra loop through the Bakony region to cover sufficient distance. We started in Berhida and cycled via Eplény along quiet country roads to the north coast. Via Balatonfüred and the coast of the Tihany peninsula, we crossed over to the south shore at Szántód. On the third day, we temporarily left the shore, cycled over cliffs and forest roads, and ended up back in Berhida. We encountered unpaved or impassable sections, sometimes overgrown paths, and busy stretches without cycle paths; but everywhere we enjoyed views, tranquillity, and flexibility.
