Since my last post, I made three hikes, all of which during the past two weeks. It's the colorful, photogenic season again... all three hikes were actually easy, no need for putting the camera into the backpack.

The first hike was to the Hocheck from Altenmarkt an der Triesting. This is an easy, but rather long and exhausting hike. I had a proper muscle fever afterwards for a few days. Photography-wise it's highly recommended, the view from the top is really nice, though I haven't edited those photos yet.

This is a view on the way back to Altenmarkt, you can see the Peilstein close to the right edge.

The second hike was from Pilisszentlászló to the Prédikálószék (and back the same way). This is also more like a very long forest walk.

The third hike I made yesterday. I went up to the Julianus observation tower on the Hegyes-tetö from Nagymaros and from there down to Zebegény. This hike is relatively short, as I chose the shortest trails up and down, but quite uphill and downhill, so it's a bit exhausting.

This is the view from the tower:

The colors here might look a bit strange, that's because I edited the photo on the iPad.

I am really looking forward to making more hikes in Hungary. Turns out, this country is actually quite a nice hiking destination, even though it has neither high mountains nor a sea. Hungarian landscapes are not more or less beautiful than Austrian landscapes, but different. The good thing about hiking in Hungary is also that many top destinations and viewpoints are close to the capital, and public transportation is excellent and cheap. E.g., if you want to go top the Prédikálószék, you just need to go to Szendendre and from there with a bus, the whole travelling time is a little more than one hour. And for the second hike, I only needed to travel approximately 40 minutes with the train. So I am indeed planning to continue hiking here in spring.

I have no idea what my next hikes will be. I hope there will be some snow. I guess for now I have enough photos to edit and upload to Pixelfed. Nevertheless I hope there will be at least one hike per month to report about. From now on, it's the "challenging season" because the landscape looks sad and bald. Plus, my followers want photos that match the season.

I also want to mention that I have a new software project. The core is there but I don't know when I will feel like continuing the work.
