Kektura - a thruhike of Hungary

My hiking season has not ended yet - I'll be on another trip in October. And it will be a rather exotic destination: Hungary which is usually not really on the European hiking agenda. But Hungary boasts of one the oldest European long-distance hiking trails, the Blue Trail or Kektura as it is called in Hungary. In roughly 1000 km it traverses the entire country from East to West. Although very few Western European hikers know about it this trail is extremely popular in Hungary itself. And fall is one of the best seasons to hike there! I am extremely curious what is waiting for me there!

    Genau wie du es anfangs warst, bin ich auch etwas skeptisch was das Wildcampen in Ungarn angeht. Auf jeder Internetseite steht zu lesen, dass es verboten sei - außer in deinem Blog :-)
    Besteht die Möglichkeit, dass die Rechtslage sich inzwischen geändert hat oder weißt du wo man zuverlässig Auskunft bekommt?
    Wir planen gerade eine Radtour durch Ungarn und Rumänien und haben auch schon dein Buch als Vorbereitungs-Lektüre angefangen.
    Viele Grüße

    Just found an interview with you in a Hungarian newspaper, read all the blog posts about Kektura, thank you for them they are polite and funny. It's always interesting to see my country through the eyes of people who had grown up elsewhere.

    A lot had happened in 5 years but the food and the hospitality are still there, as are the hills, the forests and the meadows.

    Alfold (Great Plains) in the summer was very brave, congratulations. If you ever try again there are some wetlands with record amount of birds near Hortobágy village, if you are interested.


    Wish you the best on your travels and hope you will visit some time again.
