Autumn deer

They are here again!

We see each other every day, Mazy, me & the deer. They are both in the meadow in front, and in the meadow behind our house. And sometimes also in our garden. In summer they are less visible, I suspect they are then in the nature reserve further away. But now that ‘natural’ grass is a bit scarcer and farmers have sown tender young grass, they are ubiquitous. Photographing them, however, is not so easy: after all, I am always out and about with Mazy. After a few spirited chases, Mazy seems to have resigned herself to the fact that deer are not to be herded and just plays with her ball. Hopefully, the deer will soon learn that Mazy is neither a wolf nor a threat.

  • Ski-area Eplény

    Hungary has no Alps, but does offer some ski resorts, such as the Mátra Mountains and the ski arena of Eplény, 30 minutes from Budapest. Although the altitude is limited (500 m, 175 m elevation gain), there are multiple slopes, elevators and ski facilities, including evening lighting and ski rentals. Due to its small size, waiting times are minimal, allowing for smooth skiing. The area is too small for a real ski vacation, but ideal for regular practice. In summer, it is transformed into a mountain bike park.

  • Cycling around Balatonalmádi

    On Easter Saturday, we cycled from Balatonfűzfő along Lake Balaton to Balatonalmádi. The tour, with an elevation gain of around 500 metres, requires good physical condition due to the challenging slopes. We climbed the Csere-hegy and Somlyó-hegy observation towers via good cycle paths, enjoyed the nature and rest stops, and returned to the start via a restaurant and a steam locomotive.
